OY! by Rich Orloff
Synopsis
OY! is a collection of 8 short comedies, each illustrating the meaning of a Yiddish word -- including the untold
stories of Eve and Adam, Einstein's demanding mother, the divorce trial of God and the human, the use of
unkosher food as an aphrodisiac, and three men in a steam room who communicate using only the word "oy."
Appealing to audiences of all backgrounds, OY! is a tribute to the absurdity and comedy of being human.
