About the show
Edinburgh. 2am. Max falls for Eliana – but to marry her he must convert to Orthodox Judaism… despite already being Jewish. Confused? Imagine how he feels. A hilarious, heartbreaking true story about love, identity and belonging, from one half of comedy double-act Max & Ivan.
Adapted from Max’s critically acclaimed memoir Making the Cut: An Unorthodox Love Story (Ebury/Penguin).
***** (Times). 'Britain’s answer to David Sedaris' (Andrew O’Hagan).
