I saw this show last night and was blown away by its emotional power, its almost eerie relevance to today’s social and economic situation, the wonderful acting, the exceptional costumes that powerfully created the ambience of the 1930s, the historic photographs projected on the wall behind the actors, and in fact, everything about this amazing production. Anyone who loves theater, and has even the slightest interest in its history, should absolutely see this fabulous show. Thank you, Corey, for writing and directing it, and for the 33 years you devoted to creating another groundbreaking theatre – a Jewish version of the Group Theatre you so vividly portray in this play.
