Twisted
by Jason Booker
Staged in and around a synagogue in Kensington Market, A Simple Twist of Faith needs a few more twists. This show, a two person song cycle about a Jewish soldier in WWI Germany who is taken in by a family for Shabbat dinner, and 20 years later repays the kindness, features beautiful voices and a live quartet of musicians.
However, with a plot that is obvious from the outset, the true story’s stakes never seem high enough. Since the story is told as a flashback, the narrator obviously survived the dangers of the wars, hopefully with help from the tale's hero.
