“With the shadow of hatred festering at its very core,” writes Stephen Laughton of his latest production, “[One Jewish Boy] is a bittersweet comedy fuelled by antisemitism.” To discuss this and more, Judi Herman caught up with actor Robert Neumark Jones, who plays leading man Jesse. The pair delve into Laughton’s story of one Jewish boy and his life, love, family and marriage, and how these strands are affected by antisemitism.
