    Press Quotes

    “JERICHO is a play about September 11. It is also a traumatic-Thanksgiving-dinner-with-the-family play and a play about being Jewish. All in all, it is a lovely, humorous work with laughs that resolve into a meditation on the pains and satisfactions of living after a tragedy … It is a real accomplishment … Mr Canfora has delivered a smart, hard-hitting drama filled with biting wit. JERICHO doesn’t leave audiences with an easily summarized message, but it’s difficult to forget one of Beth’s lines from the first scene: ‘There are some things it should be impossible to recover from.'” —New York Times

    “JERICHO [will] show you how a bracingly adult, contemporary play can be a thrill-ride in itself … by balancing the truly gut-wrenching emotional fireworks with a bitterly snarky sense of humor.” —Asbury Park Press

    “Canfora’s dialogue shows a true writer at work.” —Newark Star-Ledger

    “An important addition to the repertoire of the American stage.” —Theatre Communications Group

    Play Description

    A time-bending love story between two physicists. Described by The Chicago Sun-Times as “a deft little romantic screwball comedy with a very brainy twist. It brings to mind some of Tom Stoppard's more intellectual theatrical hijinks. But it's also the kind of work that might have beguiled such 1930s and '40s era film directors as Frank Capra and Preston Sturges, who probably would have hired Albert Einstein as a script consultant.”
