Theatre Tours International and The Playground Theatre Presents...
Mark Maier - Jewvenile | Preview
22nd JULY | 7:30PM
Mark Maier’s Jewvenile is an hilarious journey through the labyrinth of Jewish identity and family neuroses, from the peculiarities of family traits to the “tricky art” of Jewish wife-swapping. Maier touches on the legacy of his father and introduces a cast of eccentric characters, including the enigmatic Rabbi Schnitzel.
Hailed as “Sublime” by Jewish Renaissance and as “One of the UK’s best Jewish comedians” by The Jewish Chronicle, Maier proves that while the subject matter is personal, the humour is universal.
You don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy this masterclass in timing and wit from a performer at the peak of his powers.
