Synopsis: | As described the NY Post: "CLANDESTINE is a play with a strongly written central character, a middle-aged, thrice-married woman who operates a cheap lunchroom with a bachelor brother. While she is reuniting a pregnant young woman with the young man responsible, she is charmingly passing out her ignorant notions about history and geography. But what she may lack in facts, she makes up in amazing intuition about life. It's obvious that with her involved, everything had to end happily." | |||||

Synopsis: | THE LAST TWO JEWS OF KABUL, a new play by Josh Greenfeld, directed by George Ferencz, is a two character play based upon a true story. After the fall of Kabul in the autumn of 2001, two Jewish men were discovered in a city that was once home to 40,000 Jews. These alleged "last two Jews" were sharing as their living quarters the ruins of a synagogue -- but not speaking to each other. This is a comic premise and the play is, indeed, rich in humor. But it is not without serious and dramatic overtones. | |||||
