Summary

Parallelling the extended run New York’s Jest A Second, James Sherman’s sequel to his tremendously popular Beau Jest, Chicago’s Victory Garden’s Theatre will revive an earlier Sherman work, The God Of Isaac, as its final mainstage production of the season.
First produced at the Illinois theatre in 1985, The God Of Isaac tells of a Jewish man’s search for spiritual identity, prompted by the threat of a neo-Nazi march in Skokie. Parodies of famous movies and interruptions by Isaac’s mother also figure into the poignant comedy.
