Jeff Baron: Visiting Mr. Green
tolerance in two acts, with klezmer
On an average day in New York City, 86-year-old Mr. Green steps off the sidewalk and Ross Gardiner's car almost hits him. For negligent driving, the young man is convicted of six months of social work that he needs to serve at Mr Green's: he must visit his old victim once a week and look after him. The forced visits offers great moments of comedy between the grumpy, tight-lipped widower and the dynamic, young office worker. Over the course of the weeks, however, the ice starts to melt. While opinions collide about family, tradition, and religion, the two men share long-lost secrets, too. And it's happening in such a fascinating way that in the end the audience will not only cry of laughing...
Jeff Baron's award-winning comedy has been translated into 22 languages and has been produced more than 500 times in 46 countries. Visiting Mr. Green is a captivating play that is rich in both heartfelt and entertaining moments. The twisting story and the step-by-step coming-out of the two characters keep the audience under a constant influence.
The play also has unique opportunities for the actors: both roles are like real rewards for József Székhelyi as the grumpy-gravelly Mr Green, and Tamás Pál as Ross Gardiner.
