4.0 out of 5 stars Humorous Interpretation of Jewish Folk Tales for Young People, July 12, 2005

This review is from: The wise men of Chelm (Paperback)

I directed this play with middle school students, who had great fun with the "nitwits, noodlebrains, and puddingheads" who inhabit the play. It was an entertaining way to expose the middle school students to Jewish folk lore, and a great opportunity for my performers to create colorful characterizations.
