Synopsis:

Eliot Green is turning 13 and about to undergo one of the great rituals of Judaism: the Bar Mitzvah, when a boy becomes a man, and the party that celebrates it is the event of a lifetime.
To Eliot's mother, Rita, it's a grand stage on which to present the accomplishments of her family to a waiting world. To her husband Victor, it's an expensive party, getting more expensive every day. To Lesley, his sister, it means endless responsibility and pouring oil like a troubled daughter. To Grandad Wax it's tradition. And to Rabbi Sherman it's another Shabbat, another Bar Mitzvah over and time to put his feet up - or so he thinks... Witty, insightful, rich in irony and human observation, Bar Mitzvah Boy stands as one of Jack Rosenthal's most
famous and most popular plays, rich in universal humour and creating, in young Eliot and his mother, their friends and relatives, some of his most memorable characters..

A Jewish boy thinks seriously about the meaning of his forthcoming Bar Mitzvah and realises the limitations of his father and other male members of the family. Meanwhile his family prepare for the celebration, preoccupied with the banquet, guest lists, clothes and preparations for the event.
