Two Jews Walk into a War...
|
by Seth Rozin
with Avi Aharoni and Nathan Keepers
directed by Sally Wingert
Now Playing: April 30 – May 22, 2022
Zeblyan and Ishaq are the last two Jews living in Kabul. While they both want to urgently repopulate their ancient Jewish community, how to do so is something they cannot agree upon. Against a backdrop of explosions and bullets, the two men must reconcile their theological differences and work together. Inspired by true events, this play balances Borscht Belt humor and poignancy in a touching look at cultural continuity.
