Inside the Play: “Passing the Love of Women”

Sunday, March 14, 3:00 – 4:00 pm

Presented by Jewish Federation's Cleveland Israel Arts Connection, Cleveland Public Theatre, Interplay Jewish Theatre, and Oberlin College.

In 2003, playwrights Motti Lerner and Israel Zamir adapted Isaac Bashevis Singer's short story “Two.” The eponymous pair are Polish yeshiva students whose mutual devotion recalls that of the biblical Jonathan and David. How does one translate this 19th century story of forbidden love – as interpreted through mid-20th century sensibilities – into a 21st century piece of theater?

View the play, "Passing the Love of Women" then discuss with the experts. Featured panelists include:

Raymond Bobgan, executive artistic director, Cleveland Public Theatre
Rabbi Megan Doherty, rabbi, Oberlin College Hillel
Motti Lerner, playwright
Faye Sholiton, playwright and founder, Interplay Jewish Theatre
