Inhaltsangabe

A viciously funny and intelligently provocative play about family, friendship and faith, adapted by the author from his Pulitzer-finalist short story.

NOMINATED FOR BEST WRITER IN THE STAGE DEBUT AWARDS 2025

Who in your life would you trust to keep you alive? And who do you know who would risk their own life for yours?

Debbie and Lauren were best friends until Lauren became ultra-Orthodox, changed her name and moved to Jerusalem. More than twenty years later, husbands in tow, their Florida reunion descends with painful but hilarious inevitability into an argument about parenthood, marriage, friendship and faith.

If you really want to ensure a Jewish future, you should be like me. Good, old-fashioned afraid.

Nathan Englander's serious comedy, adapted for the stage from his Pulitzer-finalist short story, received its European premiere at the Marylebone Theatre, London, in October 2024.
