Esther and Schmuli are Orthodox Jews embarking on an arranged marriage. Abe and Julia are celebrities embarking on a dangerously flirtatious correspondence, despite both being married to other people. Just looking, the two couples couldn’t be more different, but once you get to know them, you find a hidden connection.

I haven’t really read a play since high school - over a decade ago. But I found this title while doing a book list for Jewish Heritage Month and decided I wanted to give it a go.

That being said, this play was pretty simple. Mostly interactions between two characters. I liked that because I could easily “see” the characters in their scenes.

A fascinating look at forced gender reassignment (something often done to children with ambiguous sex organs). I really enjoyed the flashback scenes, but the present day ones were creepy to say the least. The main character's strange fixation on children and stalkeresque obsession with his new girlfriend are very unsettling and paint a negative picture of those with gender-identity issues. I understand that the author was probably trying to play off the main character's socio-emotional issues as stemming from their gender identity crisis, but it just didn't feel authentic to what would have proceeded from the character as we knew them as a child/teen.… (mer)
