The Last Night of Ballyhoo

This Alfred Uhry play mixes Southern and Jewish gentility and bigotry in a slice-of-life presentation. When an Eastern European Jew, Joe Farkas visits his boss Adolph’s family (the “right kind of Jews” from Germany), romance and drama ensue. It’s December 1939 and Atlanta is abuzz about the premiere of Gone with the Wind. For characters and controversy alone, this is a worthwhile see.
