I

had the distinct pleasure of having some time to talk to Tovah and Dr. Ruth. I feel very honored and very lucky to have been in that position. I’m going to let them do the talking in this article, but first I wanted to acknowledge that both of these women were incredibly generous with their attention and they both made a point to address me by name and connected with me as a person and not just another interviewer. I thought I would start out like this because I wanted to preserve the human touches of these conversations that, to me, further highlights the pathos of the play and the friendship between Tovah and Dr. Ruth that enriches it.
