MY NAME IS ASHER LEV to Play Eternity Playhouse in May

MY NAME IS ASHER LEV won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play and the prestigious John Gassner Award. Under the direction of Moira Blumenthal, the Sydney premiere will star ANNIE BYRON, TIM McGARRY and JOHN O'HARE. This award-winning play that explores the tensions people often feel between tradition, art, family and self will have an exclusive season at Eternity Playhouse, playing from 8 to 29 May 2016.

Asher Lev is a young Hasidic Jew growing up in Brooklyn in the late 1940s. His considerable artistic talent draws opposition from not only his own strict sect, which believes art is a waste of time, but also from his parents.

Asher is willing to challenge the expectations of his community and the unhappiness of his family but will have to pay a terrible price for the right to use his gift.
