Due to ticket demand, The Twenty-seventh Man has extended through March 22!

In a Soviet prison in 1952, Stalin's secret police have rounded up twenty-six writers, the giants of Yiddish literature in Russia. As judgment looms, a twenty-seventh suddenly appears: a teenager, unpublished and unknown. Baffled by his arrest, he and his cellmates wonder at what has brought them together, and wrestle with what it means to write in troubled times. Time Out New York called The Twenty-seventh Man "exquisite - as chilling and haunted as a ghost story." Artistic Director Barry Edelstein returns to the play he premiered in New York by award-winning novelist Nathan Englander, and reimagines it for the Globe’s intimate in-the-round space, bringing us larger-than–life personalities and an unforgettable reminder of the transcendent power of storytelling.
