Impressively narrated by Evelyn Orbach, "The Thief and the Hangman," the libretto that was written by the late Morton Wishengrad, re- ceived the acclaim of an audience that filled to ca- pacity the Temple Israel sanctuary. Harold Orbach su- perbly interpreted the role of the chief character in the play, Micah the thief, in a text that is based on an old Hebraic parable. It is the story of a thief who stole because he was hungry. When con- fronted with the noose he asked for a final privilege to plant a seed for the tree of life. Then came his chal- lenge to the hangman, the judges, the king and all in the domain to pro- vide a guiltless person to perform the act of hang- ing. The accusatory chal- lenge dominates the theme. Numerous curtain calls were expressions of ap- preciation from an en- thusiastic audience to the cast, which included the Orbachs, Marjorie Gor- don, Lindsay Barr, Lawr- ence Henkel, James Berg, Carmen Cavallaro and Robert Branch.
