It took me a while to warm up to this play, but in the last movement, I really started to like it. Asher’s conflict with his parents is so real, and that ending HURT. “Go in health and return in health.” Wow. I can see why my drama teacher sometimes calls this “the best play ever written.”

So, so excited to bring The Women to life in this play.

A powerful play based on a powerful book.

Compelling.

The book I read is not listed here. It has this title but is written by Chaim Potok. This is a marvelous work about the coming of age of a young artist. Potok captures both the struggles of youth and the strict discipline required by the Hasidic culture. 5 stars from me!

An interesting but my entirely successful adaptation of Chaim Potok's 1972 novel of the same name. The concept is something like Ira Glass / This American Life storytelling; cool, but leaves the ending a bit flat.

A play based on the novel by Chaim Potok.
