A Night of Israel Horovitz

Two one act plays by Israel Horovitz

The Indian Wants the Bronx: An East Indian (played by Navroz N. Dabu) gets lost on his first day in New York as two teenage punks find him waiting at a lonely bus stop. He cannot understand English, and the boys have some fun with him - at least it starts out as fun. But as the minutes go by and the bus doesn't come, they get bored; then annoyed; then vicious. As the nightmare spell of the play takes hold, and the boys torture their victim with increasing relish, we are brought to a shocking awareness of how thin the veneer of civilization can be - of how close beneath the surface of all men lurks the primitive impulse to hurt and humiliate those whose very helplessness and inability to communicate can only frustrate and enrage.

The Great Labor Day Classic: A group of runners, of various ages and backgrounds, are discovered midway in a marathon race. As they pull abreast of each other they chat amiably; renewing old friendships; introducing themselves to new participants; and discussing their lives beyond the world of racing. As they jog on, signs pass by announcing the miles left to go until, at last, the finish line appears. All complete the course, and while the competitive spirit quickens as the end of the race nears, it is also clear that in their shared enthusiasm each is rooting for the others as much as for himself. It is how the race is run that matters most and, in the final essence, all who compete - and go the full distance - are winners, no matter when they cross the finish line.
