David Bar Katz Dept: You can't choose your parents, Superman shrugs in reply, according to Montreal Gazette. Written by a Jew named David Bar Katz, with several Jews in leading roles, directed by a Jew, and staged at the Jewish Community Center due north of the White House, the play expands on the Judaism of the young American writer and the immigrant Canadian artist who forged the Man of Steel from the slough of the Great Depression and wASHINGTON I made you! You're Samson! You're the strongest Jew who ever lived! a small-c creator screams to a red-caped redeemer in the first act of the tragic and fascinating play entitled: The History of Invulnerability, performed this summer on a stage in the U.S. capital. As we near the hour of decision for the American electorate a contest that seems more and more to offer the Clark Kent meekness of Mitt Romney versus the Kryptonite-weakened Barack Obama, whom many Republicans still regard as a strange visitor from another planet The History of Invulnerability offers a timely lesson in the limits of power and the power of faith. It's a moving and unsettling night at the theatre, a mashup of Holocaust guilt, snappy one-liners, and the true backstory of the Man of Steel and the poor young schleppers who gave him life.
