Cary Gitter's play, directed by Joe Brancato, draws from a true story: a son named Jake Gellert trying to find footing beneath a father who survived the Holocaust and never quite left it behind. The drama is set in 1983 Pittsburgh — tight domestic territory, three actors, eighty-five minutes with no intermission, at 59E59's Theater B.
This is the Off-Broadway premiere of a play that already had its world premiere at Penguin Rep, and it's the fourth Gitter piece this same company has brought into the city. That track record suggests a production that knows its own material well. The evening sits in the tradition of intimate family dramas about inheritance and damage — the kind that rewards audiences who don't need plot machinery to stay interested. We haven't reviewed it yet, so you're deciding ahead of the verdict.
Curious what the room is like at 59E59, whether there's a seat worth claiming, or how this stacks up against other Off-Broadway options open right now?
