We just saw Jonathan Kravetz's play
Prayer at Pace University as part of the
NYC Fringe Festival. We sat on folding chairs in the front row, and I was able to elevate my feet on my folding foot stool. It's a difficult play to watch, but I'm glad I did. It takes place entirely in a prison under an autocratic theocracy. The blurb for the play states:
In a world of religious fundamentalism, Jacob Bergson finds himself wrongfully imprisoned. His only hope is Sophia, his strangely absent wife. Prayer will challenge your ideas about the nature of morality through one man's search for justice and redemption. There are four more performances of
Prayer, and I recommend seeing it.
After the play we ate at an Indian/Pakistani cafeteria style restaurant on Church St between Warren & Chambers: good cheap eats. Then for dessert we got
tastiD*lite soft custard around the corner on Chambers Street.
