    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on two theatrical productions "Everett Beekin," directed by Richard Greenberg and "Two Rooms" directed by Lee Blessing. While inviting audience to compare an older generation with a younger, Jews and WASPs, West Coast and East, "Everett Beekin," becomes a thought-provoking prism, refracting innumerable connections as they spin in and out of our purview. In light of its focus on Arab terrorists, Blessing's "Two Rooms," might seem a timely response to the events of September 11, 2001. Rather, this 1988 drama emerges as a potent reminder that the war with various factions in the Middle East commenced long before the World Trade Center attacks.
