Saturday -- 10 minute play

by Deborah Zoe Laufer

It is Saturday, Chaim is late to join his Minyan, and his Shabbos Goy has not sent the elevator to him! How can he persuade this ancient cleaning woman that, for him, pushing the elevator button himself is work and not allowed on his day of worship?

    Jewish Plays Project recommends SATURDAY as a Semi-Finalist for our first Ten Minute Play Contest OOF: On One Foot, which searched nationally for plays from artists of all backgrounds responding to our prompt on healing & repair. SATURDAY made a strong impact on our community of readers for the Festival of New Jewish Theatre in 2024, who connected with its current relevance and how it theatrically expressed the contest theme of healing & repair.

    What a charming and funny story about the restrictions religions place on the faithful, and how odd they seem to an outsider. This play has two rich characters engaged in a commonplace, yet dramatic situation. This was a sheer delight to read, and would be fun to see staged.
