White Dog Cafe - Storytelling - Man Measures Man: War and Personal Responsibility

Man Measures Man: War and Personal Responsibility, by Wilmington playwright, David Robson, explores moral questions during the Kosovo conflict as two American Jewish doctors travel to Macedonia to help Albanian refugees fleeing the horrors of ethnic cleansing. The play reveals startling truths about survival and the convoluted nature of war-time politics and relationships. Robson will be joined by director Tim Moyer; Seth Rozin, director of InterAct Theatre Company; and actors Benjamin White and Matt Saunders, who will read from the play. Discussion will focus on the play's central questions, including: how much can we invest in good intentions if they do not always produce good results.

Storytelling night provides the opportunity to hear the life stories of a variety of peoples and gives voice to underrepresented groups such as ex-offenders, senior citizens, gays, youth, immigrants and homeless people. They also provide a forum to exchange perspectives at a personal level on experiences such as war, civil rights marches, parenting issues, and illness.

Optional à la carte dinner at 6pm is followed by storytelling at 7:30pm. Reservations recommended (215) 386-9224. Open seating at bar for drinks, snacks or desserts. Singles welcome at group tables.
