The Revisionist, A Play by Jesse Eisenberg



The three characters in this play are David, Maria and Zenon.

I read this in one day.

David is a writer and just recently wrote a book but his editor wants him to revise it or else it won’t be sellable.  David is having writers block. He travels to Poland to stay with a relative thinking that he will have quiet time and not be bothered by anyone.  Ha!!

His cousin Maria wants to spend time with him. From the story we get the picture that she is poor and just barely eking out a living, but she is willing to share what she has with her relative from the US, the only relative to ever come and visit her. 

In the end, they grow to have an understanding that they each have personal issues.
