Current events relentlessly
remind us that when we divide ourselves by religion, the best and the worst of
humanity emerges. The extraordinary ensemble and impeccable staging of
Leslie Epstein's KING OF THE JEWS create a realistic dilemma taking us
to the heart of our humanity. The staging has the audience emersed into the
drama, and you listen to each of the actors portray a character that you wish
you could hug or shake. Sadly, the historical authenticity magnifies the impact
of the performance, making this a “must see” theatrical event.
