In Seven Days

By (author): Jordi Mand

In Seven Days is a poignant, timely, and deeply funny play that explores the complexities of family, choice, and mortality through the lens of Jewish traditions. Set in a small Ontario town, the story centres on Sam, a man in his sixties who, after learning his cancer has returned and is terminal, chooses to pursue medically assisted death. His daughter Rachel, a lawyer dealing with her own personal struggles, returns home to confront the emotional weight of his decision. Rachel soon finds herself in conflict with Shelley, Sam’s meticulous partner and caretaker. As tensions rise, Rachel seeks solace from Eli, a rabbi and long-time family friend, hoping he might help change her father’s mind. But Eli is torn between his religious beliefs and his love for Sam–and then Darren, Rachel’s ex, arrives on the scene with an agenda of his own.

Each character faces their fears, desires, and regrets, culminating in a powerful exploration of love, loss, and duty. Filled with humour and heartbreak, In Seven Days captures the profound emotional journey of saying goodbye.
