Eliot Green is turning 13 and about to undergo one of the great rituals of Judaism: the Bar Mitzvah when a boy becomes a man and the party that celebrates it is the event of a lifetime. To Eliot’s mother Rita it’s a grand stage on which to present the accomplishments of her family to a waiting world. To her husband Victor it’s an expensive party getting more expensive every day. To Lesley his sister it means endless responsibility and pouring oil like a troubled daughter. To Grandad Wax it’s tradition. And to Rabbi Sherman it’s another Shabbat another Bar Mitzvah over and time to put his feet up - or so he thinks... Witty insightful rich in irony and human observation Bar Mitzvah Boy stands as one of Jack Rosenthal’s most famous and most popular plays rich in universal humour and creating in young Eliot and his mother their friends and relatives some of his most memorable characters.. Special Features: Introduction by Maureen Lipman Subtitles
