Twice the holidays! Twice the hollering! Twice the guilt!
The New York comedy hit My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy! is touring South Africa again, during 2011/2012 and plans a South East Asian tour in 2012.
Created onstage in New York by comedian Steve Solomon, this hilariously funny play tells the story of an Italian-Jewish family and the crazy characters surrounding them – whose sole purpose is to drive him into therapy (and they succeed!).This smash hit show has toured played off Broadway for almost two years and subsequent to this has toured the world since 2007
The demanding role requires a leading man of range and stature and as such, the South African producers, Afro Asia, have cast popular stage and television actor Michael Richard in the role of Steve.
In this one-man tour de force, Richard has created a range of voices, dialects and sound effects that will make the stories and jokes come alive. The South African production is directed by Charmaine Weir-Smith, with set design by Wilhelm Disbergen and lighting by Jane Gosnell.
My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy! is one part lasagne, one part kreplach and two parts Prozac. You don’t have to be Jewish or Italian to see this show. All you need is to know what it feels like to leave a family dinner with heartburn and a headache!
The theatre’s box-office will charge you just a fraction of what your therapist does, so come and laugh at someone else’s family for a change.
