About the Show:

Four-time Emmy Award-winner and NY Times “Ethicist” Randy Cohen’s solo comedy about a college professor arrested for drunk driving and an anti-Semitic rant, who can avoid jail time if he enters rehab, attends anger management classes, and gives a lecture (this play) on a figure from a list of The 100 Most Influential Jews of All Time. Rather than choose a more famous figure, such as Einstein or Moses, he picks Number 82: Daniel Mendoza, the 18th century British bare-knuckle boxing champion and father of “scientific boxing.” Randy Cohen will join director/star Seth Duerr for a Q&A after each Saturday and Sunday matinee.
