Cast Announced for TWO JEWS WALK INTO A WAR… At Playhouse On Park

TWO JEWS WALK INTO A WAR... is the first production of Playhouse on Park's 13th Main Stage Season. This production is directed by David Hammond, and it will run from September 22 - October 10, 2021.

Ishaq and Zeblyan are the last remaining Jews in Afghanistan. They share the only remaining synagogue that has not been destroyed by the Taliban. They share a mission to repopulate the Jewish community in Kabul. But they also hate each other. Can this Middle Eastern odd couple commit to one incredible act of faith to keep the diaspora alive without killing one other? A modern vaudeville full of schtick, sorrow, and survival.

David Hammond (Director) is Artistic Director Emeritus of PlayMakers Repertory Company and a former resident director for the American Conservatory Theater and the Yale Repertory Theatre. He has directed productions for the Roundabout Theater in New York, the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, and has taught on the faculties of the Juilliard School, The American Conservatory Theatre, the Yale School of Drama, and the New York University Graduate Acting Program at Tisch School of the Arts.
