JEWISH STUDIES EVENTS - FALL 2009    
 

October 28, 2009  7PM Alderson Auditorium, KS Union

Roy Horovitz, Israeli actor, performs My First Sony       



This monodrama is based on Benny Barbash’s book by the same title. This story is told from the point of view of a son, 11 year old Yotam, who is witness to his family's breakup and records all he can on his children’s tape recorder, “My First Sony”. His close attention to all these events, which he faithfully reports and records, reveals both the painful and the humorous sides of the painful aspects of growing up, such as his parents’ separation and the inevitable ending of their marriage.    

A beautiful and very well acted play... Not a dull moment. Horovitz is sensitive, natural and convincing. He successfully plays a child without falling into childishness, and gains sympathy without gushing 'shmaltz' ." (the daily Yediot Aharonot).

This performance is supported by the KU Hebrew Student Association and the
Jewish Heritage foundation of Greater Kansas City
