    I am so impressed by this play’s ability to look at violent anti-Semitic incidents and ask broader questions and find deeper answers. THE WRONG QUESTION forces us to look at the realities and limits of Jewish progressivism. This work is exciting and dangerous in equal measure.

    A wonderful and challenging play. A great example of how political art can (and should!) dialogue with its audience. Chary is a real talent and one to watch
