Photo Flash: First Look at Jane Elias's Solo Play DO THIS ONE THING FOR ME

The New York International Fringe Festival's production of Jane Elias's solo play, Do This One Thing for Me, directed by Tracy Bersley, opened on October 14, and continues through October 27. Check out photos from the show below!

With delicacy, humor and artistry Jane Elias charts her Long Island upbringing and her poignant relationship with her father, Beni, a Greek Jew who survived Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. As she realizes she will not be able to grant his wish that he live to dance with his daughter at her wedding, she looks for another way to honor him and his legacy, traveling to Poland to take part in the March of the Living. An acutely observed portrait, filled with tenderness, longing and self-discovery, Do This One Thing for Me is a transcendental pas-de-deux between two generations and a daughter's love letter to her dad.

The Daily Show's Aasif Mandvi called Do This One Thing for Me "One of the best solo shows I've ever seen," and Broadway producer Manny Azenberg cheered, "It was wonderful!"
