A Jewish Joke

See it if You’re interested in history about the blacklist in Hollywood

Don't see it if You don’t like one man shows

See it if You are interested in un-American communists in Hollywood in the 1959’s and don’t mind someone constantly on the phone.

Don't see it if You like a good comedy or good drama.

See it if If you want to see a one man play about the un American activities in Hollywood. A piece that deals with this era.

Don't see it if If you want a good play that deals with communistic behavior in Hollywood and the un American activities. Jokes fall flat. Not good.

See it if You enjoy plays set against historical events. You like one-actor plays.

Don't see it if You want a multi-layered play & performance: the actor is shout-y throughout & the play exhausts the telephone to move the plot...

Also & the schtick-y jokes motifs. The one-sided phone call followed by a joke wore thin.... Read more Read less

See it if You're intrigued by the title and enjoy one character plays ( he's also one of the authors)

Don't see it if U're looking 4 humor, 85 lonnng minutes and maybe two tee hees. The play is about a man constantly on the phone being subpoenaed by HUAC. OY

See it if You are interested in a story relating to the Communist blacklist of the 1950s. Although the actor tried, this production was cliched.

Don't see it if You want a storyline that is more than answering the phone. Very slow, bad jokes, not a good exposition of the problems experienced then.

See it if Live nearby and have a free ticket

Don't see it if Expecting jokes,and/or interesting information about "Witch Hunting" in 1950s; annoyed by constant phone ringing and water drinking on stage

Also Good intention but HUGE disappointment. Staging and music are very 50s, which is good. Actor is trying too hard, some words hard to understand. Too many phone calls on stage; phone really rings every minute or two, I stopped counting after 20.Some people left within first 15 min, some people were so bored that they fall asleep or were constantly checking their watches... Read more Read less

See it if you can sit through a show for a few good, well worn jokes and little relevant info about McCarthy period.

Don't see it if you wish to be well informed or entertained.

See it if If you like one-man shows, original direction of the play and you don't know anything about the red scare of the 50's

Don't see it if If you expect a really funny show or an interesting story line

See it if Did not like it at all. Boring! If you like a slow story about a joke writer who is his none stop on the phone ... Go and see it!

Don't see it if Boring! A confusing story . One man show , not even funny.
