Notes:

Original Playwright - Franz Werfel. Franz Werfel had been asked by The Theatre Guild, New York to turn the story "Jacoboswski und der Oberst" into a play. He did but in German. The Guild asked him to translate it but did not like the translation. They asked Clifford Odets to rewrite the translation. However, they did not like Odets version either and got S N Behrman to do it. Behrman's version opened on March 14 1944 at Martin Beck Theatre, New York

Jacobowsky And The Colonel

An inspiring play with a war background, but a work of permanent post-war significance

Notes:

by Kurt Weill and Franz Werfel

Synopsis:

The Road of Promise combines a story about a synagogue under threat of persecution with defining stories from the Old Testament. As the congregation awaits their fate, a 13-year old boy appears who knows nothing of his Jewish heritage or faith. The Rabbi enlightens the boy and gives the community strength by recounting the stories of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Miriam, Moses, Ruth, Isaiah, and more, all of which come alive through Weill's score. The young boy listens to the stories unfold and emerges as the new hope for his people.
