Everything Is Illuminated

Aurora Theatre
2081 Addison Street Berkeley

If you're going on an international quest of historical and personal importance, you'll need help. For your translator, you probably don't want a guy with hilariously mangled English and hopelessly dated pop-culture references. His "blind" grandfather and flatulent dog named Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. probably won't be much help either. But that's the motley crew Jonathan, a young Jewish American, finds himself relying on in Everything is Illuminated, the "riveting [and] masterful" (Broadway World) adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's acclaimed novel. Follow Jonathan as he travels to the Ukraine and sets out with this quirky fellowship in search of the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Equally funny and poignant, this modern favorite makes its Bay Area premiere from Aurora Theatre Company.
