BWW Reviews: The New Jewish Theatre's Fascinating Production of CONVICTION
by Chris Gibson - Apr 11, 2013
Oren Neeman's CONVICTION, as translated and adapted by actor/writer Ami Dayan, is a brilliant tour de force. This tale, told in historical flashbacks, is an intriguing piece that focuses our attention on a priest who forsakes his vows to return to the roots of his true faith and be with the woman he loves. This staging, in the round by director Joe Gfaller, keeps us on our toes as characters weave their way through this fascinating and engaging story. The New Jewish Theatre's current production is a smartly played treat that's another example of must-see theatre.
