One Jewish Boy, Paperback / softback Book

One Jewish Boy Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

Jesse is paranoid and frightened, and it's messing up his relationship, his job, his son and his life.

But Jesse has every reason to be frightened; he is increasingly feeling the sting of rising prejudice in every part of his life. Stephen Laughton's play One Jewish Boy explores key moments over an eight-year relationship between a nice Jewish boy from North London and the nice, not-so-Jewish woman with whom he falls in love. An urgent response to anti-Semitism, this bittersweet comedy focuses on one young family's struggle against prejudice, and asks if the fear of hatred could be worse than hate itself?

It was first produced at the Old Red Lion Theatre, Islington, in 2018, before transferring to Trafalgar Studios in London's West End in 2020. This edition also includes the short play Three.
