NATHAN THE WISEMARCH 16-APRIL 10, 2022Written by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing Adapted by Michael Bloom Directed by Adam ImmerwahrProduced in Association with Folger TheatreAN 18TH-CENTURY SHAKESPEAREAN FABLEStarring Mitchell Hbert, Emily Whitworth, Drew Kopas, Jeff Keogh, and Sarah CoreyIn 12th century Jerusalem, Jews, Christians, and Muslims live side by side in peaceor so they hope. As tensions rise, the ruling sultan asks: Which religion is the one most beloved by G-d? Lives, and the future of Jerusalem itself, are on the line as the brilliant Jewish merchant Nathan seeks to answer the question. This funny and timely 18th-century Shakespearean play is chock full of mistaken identities, foiled romances, and relationships across cultural and religious divides. Michael Blooms smart new adaptation celebrates the common humanity that unites us all.A moving story that speaks, as you might guess, to conflicts that roil the world today. New York Times
