The Last Night of Ballyhoo

Winner of the 1997 Tony Award for Best Play "Surprising, luminous, and powerful. It will mostl likely find a place in the American canon alongside Uhry's Driving Miss Daisy." —Laurie Winer, Los Angeles Times A bittersweet romantic comedy set in Atlanta in 1939, on the eve of World War II and the opening night of Gone with the Wind, Alfred Uhry's The Last Night of Ballyhoo deals in a very personal way with being Jewish in the South, depicting the prejudices that existed between German-American Jews and "the other kind."
