I'M NOT LIKE YOU (Chicago Jewish Play Reading Festival 2015)
I'm Not Like You by Itta Chana Englander Sunday, February 22, 2015 7:00 p.m. Stage 773 1225 West Belmont Avenue Chicago, IL 60657
It's 1990 and Shlomo, a young straight Orthodox man, doesn't feel well. He's only had sex once with a female prostitute but the diagnosis is AIDS. At a support group, he meets his former schoolmate Malkiel, now openly gay and AIDS-infected. Their terminal illness follows a predictable path but the relationship that evolves between the two men takes them on an unexpected journey.
A discussion and light refreshments follow the play reading. Recommended for ages 13 and up.
