Jewish Repertory Theatre to Present MY NAME IS ASHER LEV, 10/22-11/15
by BWW News Desk - September 25, 2015
My Name is Asher Lev, Chaim Potok's moving novel which Aaron Posner has adapted for the stage, tells the story of a gifted young painter torn between his art, the bond he feels with his parents and the Hasidic Jewish tradition in which he was raised. Through this story we see a child expressing independent thinking that just doesn't fit his parent's world view. How many of us have experienced this conflict with loving parents, and understand a conflict that frequently cannot be resolved without anguish for both the parents and child? Our hope is that as Asher Lev narrates his own story that both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences will recognize and be moved by the dilemma facing this family.
