Full Length, Drama Characters: 3 male, 2 female 2 Interior Sets
Isaac Geldhart, the imperious scion of a family owned publishing
house, is under siege. A takeover is being engineered by his son
Aaron, who sees the firm's profitability steadily declining and
wants to publish a trashy novel to bring in the bucks. Isaac plans
to go on publishing scholarly works such as a multi volume history
of Nazi medical experiments. Aaron has the necessary yen from
Japanese backers but he needs the votes of his brother and sister.
Reluctantly, they side against the old man. The second act takes
place in the library of Isaac's townhouse a few years after his
forced retirement. He has become so irascible and eccentric that
his children have asked the court to judge his competence. Isaac,
who survived the Holocaust and transcended the death of his wife to
build an important publishing company from scratch, faces his
greatest challenge: persuading the psychiatric social worker that
he is sane. "A deeply compassionate play." N.Y. Times "A remarkably
intelligent drama." N.Y. Newsday.
