IN oRBit: STOP US IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS

Approaching the war in Afghanistan by the numbers can be a tricky thing. But while our nation debates the scope and scale of our latest troop commitment, over in Long Branch it all boils down to two guys — the last couple of Jews in the last synagogue in Kabul, during the last days of the Taliban. The fact that they hate each other’s guts is just the dusting on the cake, in the new play Two Jews Walk Into A War.

Today’s edition of Red Bank oRBit has an interview with James Glossman (right), for whom this is but the latest project he’s done for New Jersey Repertory Company. While he’s not quite a household name, the director regularly works with some of the best in the business — everyone from Ed Asner and Jack Klugman, to Stephen Colbert and Fred Savage — and we’re happy to have him here.

Find out his not-so-secret secret for getting actors to do anything he asks them to do — along with the latest seasonally cool forecast from The Orb — right here in Red Bank oRBit.

Remember: Nothing makes a Red Bank friend happier than to hear "I saw you on Red Bank Green!"
