"Becoming Dr. Ruth" ~ Mendocino

Dr. Ruth Westheimer has an incredible story to tell: how she escaped from the Nazis as a child, trained as a sniper for the Haganah in Jerusalem, studied psychology at the Sorbonne, and struggled as a single mother in the United States before finally making her name as a radio and television personality. This fascinating bioplay celebrates the resilience, humor and spirit of the woman who became everyone’s favorite sex therapist.

“Rather than settle in to the comfortable public caricature of Westheimer, St. Germain has thrown almost all of it aside to instead focus on the far more complex woman underneath.”—TalkingBroadway.com
