The Jewish Question: A Comedic Lament
A play by Eric Jaffe
Performed by Eric Jaffe
In a remarkably original and funny work, Eric Jaffe tells the story of growing up in the shadow of the Holocaust, while also coming of age at a time when the acceptance of not only Jews but of all people seemed within reach. Ranging from Transylvania to Bangladesh, from Sweden to NYC, and drawing on everything from ancient Greece to professional wrestling, it’s a story of hope, disappointment, and the clash between youthful idealism and the realities of the Jewish experience.
