JERICHO

Set in Manhattan and its suburbs, Jack Canfora's Jericho is a thought-provoking new play that explores how people cope with collective and personal tragedy. Canfora's characters are touchingly human, struggling to learn what it means to belong to another person and to a larger community, all while figuring out how to meet their own needs. With surprising humor, Jericho undertakes some of the larger and more troubling questions of American life without forgetting that every struggle, even political ones, is ultimately personal.

Reviews for Place Setting

"What separates "Place Setting" from daytime TV, though, is that Canfora has wonderfully incisive wit -- and he tells the truth about how 21st century men and women view relationships and marriages." - Peter Filichia, The Star Ledger Full Review »

"Place Setting, at the New Jersey Repertory Company in Long Branch, the first full-length play by the actor and writer Jack Canfora, has all the snap, crackle and pop of a breakfast cereal, even though much of the action takes place at a New Year’s dinner party on the eve of the millennium." - P. Hoban, The New York Times Full Review »

"Place Setting boasts sharp, crisp, and richly humorous dialogue. Its story and recognizable characters engage our interest and emotions throughout (even though most of the characters are supremely selfish)." - B. Rendell, Talkin' Broadway Full Review »
