One Jewish Boy
by Stephen Laughton
Jesse is paranoid and frightened, and it's messing up his relationship, his job, his daughter and his life. But Jesse has every reason to be frightened, increasingly feeling the sting of rising prejudice in every part of his life.Stephen Laughton's play One Jewish Boy explores key moments over a four-year relationship between a nice Jewish boy from North London and the nice, not-so-Jewish woman with whom he falls desperately in love.With the shadow of hatred festering at its core, One Jewish Boy is a bittersweet comedy fuelled by rising anti-Semitism. It premiered at the Old Red Lion Theatre, London, in 2018. This edition also includes the short play Three.
