Notes:
Written by William Pleasant, Fred Newman And Dan Friedman. Symphony Space, A classical theatre space, was overrun with costumed goblins who molested the Audience, As the story was played out on A 100ft. Stage. the ultra-violent nature of Pleasant's text supplanted the need for prop weapons in A play ostensibly About A war. In fact, many Audience members complained About the many guns in the production. there were Absolutely none present.

Learning Play Of Rabbi Levi-Yitzhok, Son Of Sara, Of Berditchev, The

Synopsis:
When the great Hassidic Rabbi Levi-Yitzhok of Berditchev died in 1809, according to legend, he would not enter heaven unless God agreed first to end poverty and suffering on earth. Nearly a century later, in Dan Friedman's play, four Jewish men meet on a ship crossing the Atlantic, fleeing the poverty and pogroms of europe, hoping for a better life in the unknown cities and towns of America. On the long and difficult crossing, the four recall the oft-told stories of Rabbi Levi-Yitzhok - by performing them for one another. In time-honored fashion, they debate the stories' meaning and dispute the question "What is the responsibility of a Jew in this world?" Conflict and humor follow as convention and ritual are challenged, part of the long tradition of humanism within Jewish culture.
