A Night Of Horovitz: The Indian Wants The Bronx, Beirut Rocks at The Secret Theatre

Join us for A Night of Horovitz as we explore how fear and rage poison the human experience through cultural ignorance and narcissism in two Israel Horovitz one-acts: The Indian Wants the Bronx and Beirut Rocks.

The Indian Wants the Bronx – An East Indian gets lost on his first day in New York after two teenage punks find him waiting at a lonely bus stop. He cannot understand English, and the boys have some fun with him – at least it starts out as fun. But little by little, they get bored; then annoyed; then vicious. It is the very pointlessness of their brutality that makes this play so disturbing. Beirut Rocks – Four American college students; Benjy, a Jewish boy from the Bronx studying at Middlebury College, Jake, a Harvard student, Sandy, a Stanford student and Nasa, a Palestinian girl studying English at Cambridge, seek refuge from the 2006 July War in a hotel acting as a safe house. It doesn't take long for the students to realize the hatred that fuels the conflict outside exists within themselves, and tensions reach a fevered pitched.
