Ilan Knee has three strong
ties to Michigan right now
— two plays and a confer-
ence. Besides writing one play
recently performed in Detroit and
another play about to be performed
in suburban Detroit, he is planning
to be in the area next June as a par-
ticipant in a theater forum.
Knee, who developed the script
for the stage version of Little- Women
recently seen at the Fisher Theatre,
came up with the original script for
Syncopation, which will be produced
Feb. 8-March 5 at the Meadow Brook

aged Jewish meatpacker who works
in a kosher butcher shop but wants
to dance before royalty and an
Italian sweatshop seamstress about
to be trapped into an arranged mar-
riage as they become ballroom
dance partners and experience the
different beats of love.
Debuting in Michigan, it won an
American Critics Theatre Award
after premiering in 1999 at the Long
Wharf Theatre in Connecticut and
the George Street Playhouse in New
Jersey.
"This play captures so much
about the way I feel about life and
relationships," explains Knee, single
and living in New York. "The themes
of partnering and struggling to find
how to partner offer lots of twists
and turns and many other elements,
such as respect and hard work.
