“On the
Grill” takes the audience on an emotional roller coaster. It is a superb script
which gets a superb performance. This
eye-opening delving into Israel, its joys, fears and projections into the
future of the Jewish homeland, is an evening of theatre not to be missed. It can only be hoped that the show will be
presented in other venues, including a New York production. This is theater at its finest!

This translation by Michael Ezrachi is less successful in exploring some of the trenchant issues it brings up, including the intergenerational conflicts among this family and the particular devastation of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Everything about her [Dorothy Silver] exquisitely realized performance provides us with a connection to a people and a place the play struggles to create for much of its 100-minute run. Silver takes us inside that world in moments. What a gift she is to this production--and to Cleveland theater.
