Everything is Illuminated

Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel adapted by Simon Block

Directed by Jonathan Fox

The play features wit and irony, tenderness and brutality, comedy and, naturally, deep, personal and sweeping tragedy…Powerful theater, again, thanks to ETC.

Judith Smith-Meyer for Noozhawk

A great story, one that casts its light on a vast and unforgivable darkness.
