The Wayward Daughter of Judah the Prince at Theater for the New City

A high-spirited female buddy road trip story set in the time of the great Rabbi Judah. Written by Douglas Lackey, directed by Alexander Harrington. World Premiere. Whats a girl to do when her father is writing the most important book in the world--The Talmud? Help him, of course, until he throws her out of the house.The rift between the famous Rabbi Judah (Judah ha-Nasi) and his daughter, Hannah, over an arranged marriage proposal tosses Hannah and her lover, Sarah, out across the turbulent waters of the Roman Empire. In her travels, her robust Judaism collides with Gnostics, pagans, and Christians. One misplaced word can mean the difference between life and death.
