Andorra, the 1961 Max Frisch para-
ble about anti-Semitism and intoler-
ance in its first New York produc-
tion since its 1963 American pre-
miere, tells the story of a small
nation faced with invasion by its
Jewish-persecuting large neighbor.
Andorra's citizens are individually
insignificant, but collectively, when

memories of war. Based on Ensler's
interviews with numerous refugees.
Through May 26 at the Variety

(212) 239-6200.

Night is a monologue drawn from
Elie Wiesel's autobiographical mem-
oir about the Holocaust. Presented
by the French Institute Alliance
Francaise, the narrative reveals how
Wiesel and his family went from
their small, tranquil Jewish commu-
nity in Poland to the evils of the
concentration camps. Actor Alain
Mottet delivers Wiesel's words.
Performances are May 8, 10 and
11 at the Florence Gould Hall, 55
East 59th St. (212) 355-6160.

The Dazzle, written by playwright
Richard Greenberg, is about two
eccentric brothers who live in a New
York mansion and have very differ-
ent outlooks on life. Langley is a
pianist; Homer tries to keep him
from squandering the family money.
A young socialite becomes fascinated
with them both, creating conflict.

Through May 26 at the Gramercy
Theatre, 127 East 23rd St. (212)
777-4900.

The Golem, by Yiddish writer H.
Leivick, is a new English adaptation by
Manhattan Ensemble Theater artistic
director David Fishelson of one of the
masterpieces of the Yiddish Theater.
Drenched in magic and mystery, the
play reworks an ancient talmudic leg-
end, in which a 17th-century rabbi, the
Maharal of Prague (Robert Prosky),
molds and animates a huge clay figure
— the golem (Joseph McKenna) — to
defend the Jewish community from
attack on the eve of Passover. In the
end, the golem turns on the very people
he was created to protect, wreaking
havoc on the Jewish community.
The New York Post called The
Golem a "dangerous and gripping
play" that asks troubling questions
— about power, suffering and
magic. The New York Times asks
viewers to consider the play in a
new light. "Has [Israel], the militar-
ily mighty Jewish state, become a
golem for the 21st century, promis-
ing protection but leading to peril?"
Through May 12 at the
Manhattan Ensemble Theater, 55
Mercer St. (212) 925-1900.

The Man Who Had All The Luck,
written by Arthur Miller in 1940,
takes place in 1938, during the time
the nation was struggling toward the
end of the Depression and war was
about to begin in Europe. Another
in a string of Miller revivals, it
revolves around a young
Midwestern man whose good for-
tune makes him feels guilty as it
passes over everyone else around
him. This was Miller's first play.
Through July 7 at the American
Airlines Theater, 227 West 42nd St.
(212) 719-1300.

Underneath The Lintel, written by
Glen Berger, follows a Dutch librar-
ian who discovers a book in the
library's overnight slot that is 113
years overdue. Inside the book is a
claim ticket for a pair of trousers
left at a Chinese laundry in London.
His curiosity aroused, the librarian
claims the ticket, and eventually
finds himself traveling around the
world on the trail of the mystical
Wandering Jew.
Through June 30 at the SoHo
Playhouse, 15 Vandam St. (212)
239-6200.
