Two Jews Walk Into a War…

By Seth Rozin

Directed by James Glossman

Shadowland opens our 26th season with a surprising new comedy based on actual events. After the death of their great friend, two men - who don't like each other very much - find themselves to be the last two Jews in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Zeblyan and Ishaq don't get along…at all. And now, they are the entire Jewish population in Kabul. Despite their hatred, this Middle Eastern odd couple must find a way to regenerate their synagogue…starting with the Torah, stolen by the Taliban. Based on true events, this compelling story of faith and resiliency in the face of adversity will surprise, touch and entertain you.



"Both timely and timeless…What makes the play so satisfying is that between the considerable laughter is a tale of renewal of faith."
...... - Palm Beach Post


"Funny and poignant…Seth Rozin gives us something to think about as well."
...... - Talkin' Broadway


"Seth Rozin's world premiere at Florida Stage is a rollicking Neil Simon-esque farce about the last two Jews in violence-ravaged Kabul trying to keep their religion alive amid torture, repression and oppression."
...... - Sun Sentinel
