8. Pews
Jan 12, 1980

Set in a north country synagogue, a group of Jewish men have to organise a 'shiva', however, not having the required number of their faith, resort to recruiting George, a 'non-Jew', to make up the numbers. I only saw the play once, but there were a number of memorable lines, including, when Kugleman comes out of the 'gents', he says to Liftchick, "George won't pass as Jewish, he's got a foreskin as long as my nose!" Another line was, when asked his occupation, George replied that he was an electrician. "If anyone askes", said Liftchick, " tell them you're an electrical contractor!" A great play with an excellent cast.
