Because a friend bought me a ticket, and because it had been highly recommended by another friend, I left Ezi at home and went to see “A Tale of Love and Darkness.”  

I have to add I’ve read the book, saw the movie, saw My Michael, read every article, and have had endless conversations about Amos Oz.  From what I knew, he was a very sad, driven man of great conscience and I always liked and respected him.  This play reflects what I know of him – but I wasn’t excited by it the way I was excited by him.  He was simply an exciting man and an exciting writer.
