A review by cosmological
The Chosen (Stage Adaptation) by Aaron Posner, Chaim Potok
5.0
YOUNG REUVEN: I just want to break something, destroy something.
REUVEN: Why not build something, make something?
YOUNG REUVEN: Like what?
REUVEN: (Putting the question back on himself) Like what?

I am way too attached to the original source material to give this anything less than five stars. Like. WAY too attached. But this was also just an extremely efficient adaption. Trims a lot from the book obviously but it keeps the heart of it intact and also makes its own mark on the story. Didn’t move me as much as the novel did, but they’re different animals. I still really, really, really liked it. I’ll be thinking about it for a while.
