Meshugah

Naked Angels presents the New York premiere of Meshugah, written by Emily Mann, based on the novel by Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer, and directed by Loretta Greco. Set in New York City in the 1950’s, Meshugah paints a tragi-comic portrait of a community of recent Jewish émigrés living in the wake of World War II. Centered around a love triangle among three refugees–Aaron, a middle-aged columnist for The Forward; feisty 67-year-old Max, a womanizing stock market speculator; and beautiful young Miriam whose terrifying story of Holocaust survival presents Aaron with a life-changing dilemma–Meshugah brings to theatrical life Singer’s poignant love story of lost souls in a world gone meshugah.
