Anna Ziegler's The Wanderers, directed by Barry Edelstein, will start performances on January 26, 2023 at the Laura Pels Theater. This production was originally scheduled for 2020. The play tells the story of newly married Orthodox Jews Esther and Schmuli. Their future is written in the laws of the Torah.
