Wroclaw Puppet Theater of Poland will present The Last Escape, a spectacle based on the stories of renowned Polish-Jewish writer Bruno Schultz, on November 18th and 19th. The performances will take place at the Manhattan Jewish Community Center.

The Last Escape is the story of a pensioner trapped in his room, trying to break through his loneliness and ennui by conjuring up a new world.
