THE SUBSTANCE OF FIRE by John Robin Baitz

This insightful drama focuses on two key moments in the life of Holocaust survivor turned successful entrepreneur and bon-vivant, Isaac Geldhart. In the first, integrity clashes with commercialism as a family coup threatens to oust Isaac from his own publishing company. In the second, an aging Isaac must sort through the trauma of his past in order to prove he is sane enough to maintain his independence. “A deeply compassionate play.” – New York Times  “A remarkably intelligent drama.” – New York Newsday
