JET opens season with Midwest premiere of comedy
by "Moonstruck" screenwriter John Patrick Shanley.
SUZANNE CHESSLER
Special to the Jewish News
B
rutus, a writer with a bril-
liant past and blocked pres-
ent, lives off fiscal and emo-
tional royalties from earlier
achievements. His frustrations grow in
the presence of a younger writer,
Wanda, whose creativity is current.
The two, main characters in John
Patrick Shanley's play Dirty Story, reveal
themselves through their rocky relation-
ship and move into larger issues as they
become representatives of differing
Mideast viewpoints.
The dark comedy, which opens the
2003-2004 season at the Jewish
Ensemble Theatre, runs Oct. 22-Nov.

tures The Dim), ofAnne Frank, Ward
and I Was Just .Idding.
"I'm glad we've been able to find
some strong feminist pieces for this sea-
son," says Evelyn Orbach, JET artistic
director. Our second comedy, which
was introduced as a staged reading last
year is really quite funny and in con-
siderable contrast to our third produc-

young woman, Boy G ets. Girl explores
how a stalker enlists the help of
unknowing people.
"I'm delighted to close the season
with Fiddler," Orbach says. "I'll be
