Performed November 17-18 at the Jewish Theatre of New England.

“Thrilling, charming and altogether a knockout.” - Variety.com

MacArthur Award-winner and Obie-award Graphic novelist Ben Katchor and critically acclaimed composer Mark Mulcahy’s sung through pop musical chronicles the life and times of brothers Abe and Philip Rosenbach who were the most famous dealers in rare books and antique artifacts in America.
