Ogawa said Fun read once or twice. I purchased this script as a gift for my boyfriend when we were unable to make it to see a local production. I read it beforehand and, while I was entertained, I felt there is a lack of character development and resolution throughout. It often carries with it a sense of conflict for the sake of conflict. Had I seen the work performed I might have a different perspective, but on the page, it didn't really speak to me.. KarenT said Entertaining. Great short play. Used for study in my playwriting class.. Individual or Community Identity? Which? How much? At what cost? James Michael More of an intellectual exercise than an actual drama, BAD JEWS is a thought-provoking exploration of an ancient and ever-present psychological and social dilemma: To what extent do we root our identities and choices in our ethnicity, faith and cultural traditions? To what extent are we free, independent individuals? To put it another way: What is our foundation for understanding the meaning of life and human value? How important is it that we honor our ancestors in making personal, daily decisions?
