About Baba's War
Love cake? Love Springsteen? Love immigrants? Don't worry, Baba hates all those things too. Steffi Walker draws on her Polish grandmother's experience as a refugee to tell a touching, funny and thought-provoking story of inherited trauma across three generations of women. Using recorded interview, quick-fire costume changes and all the latest research on epigenetic theory, we ask the question: can you ever escape your past? Can you ever escape your mum's past? Can you ever escape your grandma's past? A comedy about tragedy, a story for anyone who has a dysfunctional family, and an unabashed celebration of the humble potato.
