Israel Horovitz (1939–2020)
Auteur van A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley
Over de Auteur
Born in Wakefield, Massachusetts, Horovitz completed an unpublished novel at the tender age of 13. Since then he has written some four dozen plays that have been translated into many languages. The Indian Wants the Bronx (1968) won an Obie and the Vernon Rice Award and established him as an toon meer absurdist in the Beckett--Ionesco tradition. His more recent plays have focused less on urban violence and more on Jewish family life and small-town problems. His plays have been frequently produced both internationally and in America's regional and college theaters. He is the first American to have been honored as playwright-in-residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company in England. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

I listened to this play courtesy of the L.A. Theatre Works broadcast on their website. Jason Robards & Judith Ivey were excellent and the play probably deserves a higher rating (added later - I have raised my 3.5* rating to 4* so this comment may not still apply). Ivey in particular did the Gloucester accent well (and I come from this area of the world).
My problem with it was personal - it hit a lot of buttons for me. Of course, now that I write that down I am thinking that is what a good play should do! While I liked the ending, it was on the sentimental side. Those who like strict realism in their theater might quibble that it isn't likely...… (meer)

Mathias, un neoyorkino que necesita dinero, viaja a París para vender el lujoso apartamento que acaba de heredar de su padre, con quien no tenía ningún contacto. Al llegar allí descubre que una señora mayor, Mathilde, vive allí con su hija. No tarda en enterarse de que, según la ley francesa, no podrá hacerse con el piso hasta que Mathilde fallezca.

We thought this a beautifully made film, and were engrossed almost from the start. Perhaps the plot is a tad predictable, but the premise is unusual, and the scenery stunning. All filmed on location in Paris, apparently.
