Memories of a Great-Grandmother, a Holocaust survivor
The Hermit and the Crab is a 27 minute play in which a 28 year old Molly Tollefson, who is having an existential crisis due having a profession (acting) incompatable with current pandemic, somehow manages to have a conversation with her Austrian-born Jewish great-grandmother, Greta, who managed to get her husband out of a concentration camp. Later she devised an ingenious way to get a visa to the U.S. 
The play lacked a clear focus and neither the story of Molly nor the story of the Greta were fully developed, so the audience was left feeling underwhelmed at the end. The story of Greta, actually has a lot of potential and perhaps should just be developed on its own.
As it is, it only had a few glimpses of interest.
