←Recommendations of the old jew who begat scrooge, on his deathbed

I was lucky enough to be in the same Bake-Off group as Sarah and have thought of this play regularly since. Her cleverness and frankness really shine in this.

Sharp, funny, and at times so surprisingly beautiful. Asks all the questions about Jews in the literary canon that every Jewish reader and writer has ever been troubled by.

A witty, clever exploration into the nature of literary stereotypes and the humanity that gets bypassed when a writer - even Dickens or Shakespeare - portrays only their own preconceptions. The play is also a sweet, wonderful reflection on the meaning of life and the nature of death, and manages to encompass so much depth and heart in only ten minutes - beautifully written.

Wow, this is a great piece. So beautifully touches on the often complex relationship between Judaism and Christmastime with humor and poetry.
