Press Reviews
"Lebow's three-character period play contains relational complications for a cast twice its size. The problems and memories that beset the characters are not easily disentangled…Theirs is a quite personal and unusual tragedy, made poignant by their quite ordinary humanness. Lebow once again shows that in tragic drama, the characters who refuse pity are the ones who most rouse it in us.“ —New York Native. ”…a serious work…THE KEEPERS represents playwright Barbara Lebow's continuing exploration into ethnic deracination, a concern that began with her highly praised A Shayna Maidel."
