WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Two estranged friends, torn apart by personal betrayal and uprooted by war, meet after years of separation. One has become an Orthodox rabbi, the other a secular writer. Their accidental meeting sparks a battle of wits that tests the limits of friendship, faith, and tolerance.
Adapted from "My Quarrel with Hersh Rasseyner," a short story by the acclaimed Yiddish writer Chaim Grade, The Quarrel, written by David Brandes and Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, is based on Brandes and Telushkin's film, originally broadcast on PBS's American Playhouse.
A number of The Quarrel's performances will be followed by discussions with noted scholars, artists and writers from both religious and secular communities. Telushkin will lead post-show discussions on Sunday, September 7 and Wednesday, September 24.

A chance reunion in a Montreal park in 1948 proves to be a mixed blessing for two old school chums in David Brandes and Joseph Telushkin's
The Quarrel, a gently affecting new play running at DR2 , that's based on the writers' award-winning 1991 film of the same name.
Even before Chaim (Sam Guncler) and Hersh (Reuven Russell) exchange one word, we know that we're in for an emotional ride. Th play begins with Chaim reading from an epic stream-of-conscious poem he's written (in Yiddish) about the Holocaust. When the two men meet, their initial awkwardness signals a personal drama that may well eclipse the horrors they experienced during World War II.
