Based on the best-selling novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, this stunning and often hilarious stage adaptation tells the story of a young man--also named Jonathan Safran Foer--who sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis.  Acompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war, an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Jr. Jr. and a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan takes a quixotic journey into an unexpected past, where reality collides with fiction in a heart-stopping scene of extraordinary power.
