I organized a reading of excerpts of “The Book of a Universe Inside of a Universe,” and even in a shortened form, the play impressed me with its ambition and scope. Covering three generations, two wars, and half the globe, in its lyricism and inventive staging, the play calls to mind Wilder’s "Skin of Our Teeth" and Kushner’s "Angels in America." The sly humor of a tomato sandwich does not diminish "Universe's" emotional wallop, a story about love and one man’s search for his lost father.
