Absorbing, Slow, Good message, Thought-provoking

See it if You know it’s a dialogue piece. Teaches a little history and exposes you to emotions of the characters about Israel. Act 2 is quite moving.

Don't see it if Could use some drama, especially in the first act. I did enjoy the use of violin and message of your art having a positive effect on others.

Thought-provoking, Talky, Intelligent, Profound

See it if you are stimulated by philosophical discussions about music, virtuosity, ego, Jewish/Israeli identity, loss, and personal responsibility.

Don't see it if philosophy bores you, you don't care about the 20th-century Jewish resettlement of Palestine, you can't follow heavily accented English. Read more

Great intentions, Not quite realized, Historical setting, Intense, Appealing

See it if An interesting idea about the influence of culture on history, writ small. First act meanders & could be a footnote to the stronger second.

Don't see it if I found the accents distracting but the emotion heartfelt & sincere. Still feels like a workshop piece but one I'd like to see expanded.

Absorbing, Great acting, Great writing, Intelligent, Thought-provoking

See it if you enjoy learning little known facts about Jewish history. Acting was great, main character showed growth /maturity as the play progressed

Don't see it if you like action and noise. This is a thinking type of play.

Ambitious, Absorbing, Great writing, Intense, Thought-provoking

See it if you are a history buff and enjoy fictional dramatizations of what might have occurred.The haunting melody in the background only enhances it

Don't see it if accents are hard for you to decipher or if you prefer your history not to be fictionalized or if large productions are preferred
