***** Highly Recommended ***** Over the years, I’ve seen more than a few plays about the Holocaust. Some were great, some were good, a few not so good. “The Book of Joseph”, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre’s world premiere production is one of the best. Interestingly, it wasn’t the heart-wrenching yet inevitably tragic family story that moved me to tears, it was an emotional when Richard Hollander and his son met a ‘ghost’ from the past. 4 BIG Spotlights
