Shlemiel the First

Synopsis:
The village of Chelm is home to a host of blithering, dithering men and their long-suffering, loving wives. When the local sages determine that the musings of their leader, Gronam Ox, demand a wider audience, their local factotum, Shlemiel , dutifully takes up his new charge of spreading the wisdom of Chelm, eager to experience what lies beyond the horizon. Shlemiel's wife, Tryna Rytza may be exasperated with Shlemiel, but he's her shlemiel and she argues that his place is at home - as place keeper if not breadwinner. Ox's wife, Yenta Pesha, also intercedes in vain to keep Shlemiel from his quixotic mission. And so a Shlemiel is loosed upon the world to spread the knowledge of Chelm. On the first evening of his journey, Shlemiel is tricked by a roadside bandit, who is quite clever in comparison with his dimwitted mark. There is a mischievous turnabout for our messenger, and he wanders back into what he believes is a strange new world populated by doppelgangers of his beloved hometown, in this case into Chelm the Second. Shlemiel's mental aberration of a dual family has his wife and children treating him with uncharacteristic tenderness, like a too soft boiled egg. As a result, in Shlemiel's mind, the alternate Tryna and children become idealized in comparison with their originals back in Chelm the First. However, the village elders, similar to Shlemiel, believe they have received an alternate Shlemiel who must maintain a respectful separation from the married women in town. Only the women understand Shlemiel's mistaken geography, but the men must learn the error of their ways themselves for true change to occur. Shlemiel falls heavily for Tryna2; will he jeopardize his marital vows?
- Gary McMillan, DC Theatre Scene

Notes:
Based on the story by Isaac Bashevis Singer. Conceived And Adapted by Robert Brunstein. Music by Hankus Netsky And Zalman Mlotek. Lyrics by Arnold Weinstein.
