Banned by the Nazis and then produced by dozens of German theatres following the end of World War II, NATHAN THE WISE is a timely and exuberant rebuke of prejudice and intolerance. Written in the Enlightenment Age and set in Jerusalem during the 12th-century reign of Saladin, it features the first positive portrayal of a Muslim leader, a Jewish merchant who comes to his aid, and a Templar Knight in the midst of a change of heart. Its multicultural characters offer numerous opportunities for multi-ethnic casting. Michael Bloom’s contemporary adaptation is written in a colloquial style that blows the dust off this former costume drama. With surprising humor, this version underlines the influence of Shakespearean comedies and THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.
"… quite wonderful … the script makes thoughtful, insightful commentaries about life, religion, and politics that are forever relevant … one of those productions you want to cheer during the curtain call." —Broadway World
"An affectionate treatment of an 18th century tale … a plot that builds like a classical comedy … a pleasing fairy-tale quality … opens an illuminating window on Jerusalem’s history … a serendipitous meeting ground such as the one NATHAN THE WISE offers arrives like a reassuring refreshment." —Washington Post
"Lively, humorous, and utterly relevant." —MD Theatre Guide
"Enlightenment becomes delight in NATHAN THE WISE." —DC Metro Theatre Guide
