"...I’ve
previously admitted that I could contentedly pass an
evening watching Jeremiah Kissel and Joel Colodner read
from the telephone book, so consistently compelling are
both actors.
As it happens, that sublime duo has considerably
more than a phone book to work with in Seth Rozin’s “Two
Jews Walk Into a War . . .,’’ now at New Repertory
Theatre under the sure-handed direction of Will LeBow. Subtitled
“A Vaudeville,’’ Rozin’s Kabul-set comedy is so stuffed
— overstuffed, really — with one-liners and situational
shtick that it could be retitled “The Odd Couple Goes to
Afghanistan,’’ or maybe “The Borscht Belt, Central Asia
Precinct.’’ But Kissel, Colodner, and LeBow dig beneath
the play’s quippy surface to convey the ache of loss —
personal and cultural — that undergirds the constant
squabbling between the two title figures....."--The
