THE JEWISH DOG
SHOW INFO
Written by Yonatin Esterkin, adapted from the novel by Asher Kravitz
Based on the acclaimed Israeli novel, THE JEWISH DOG is a powerful, dramatic, emotional, and at times humorous one-man, 20-character show in which the Holocaust is seen through the eyes of a perceptive and trusting dog name Cyrus. Called a "magnificent tour-de-force performance; mesmerizing and beautiful"...the show "allows the audience to leave the theater with hope for all of us".
