A farcical tribute to Yiddish theater
Oy vey ist mir! Where to begin with the troubles that plague Montgomery Theater's Jacob and Jack? Maybe it's best to start with what works. Maura Roche's set design. Three dressing rooms, side by side with no walls, but many doors: That works. It works particularly well when playwright James Sherman suddenly decides this time-traveling comic/dramatic tribute to Yiddish theater is also a farce.
