DramaPlaywright examines polarizing topic of MAID and Jewish faith with flashes of humour
In Seven Days, a play by Toronto-based Jordi Mand, deals with a family’s response to MAID – the process of allowing a terminally ill person to receive medical assistance in dying. The idea for the play arose when a friend of Mand’s father announced that he had qualified for MAID and planned to proceed. His decision sparked intense debate within the Jewish community and within Mand’s own family.
