These plays about the Jews of Atlanta, “Driving Miss Daisy,” written in 1989, and Ballyhoo in 1996, and then “Parade” in 1998, were later career plays for him. Hirsch: Jewish identity in 1939, particularly in the South, often was a reduced identity, and clearly Alfred Uhry is speaking from his own experience of having grown up extremely assimilated and knowing very little about Judaism as a religion or even, in many ways, in a cultural sense …Īnd I think when he wrote the play in the mid-90s, that was a time when he had really begun coming around to his own Judaism after writing “Driving Miss Daisy.” In our conversation, she discussed the “The Last Night of Ballyhoo” as a work of a very particular time and place.ĪJT: How does the play reflect a search for Jewish identity in Atlanta at the time?

(I am happy to report that my guess for the thief turned out to be correct in the end.) (The Russian invasion of Ukraine has changed the competition’s status.) I was gripped by Slocumb’s positioning of the character in such a predicament, and like any good mystery novel, I had a lot of questions. At this point, Ray is a contender for the world’s most prestigious music competition, The Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Brendan Slocumb lays out the moment of rupture, when Ray McMillan opens his violin case after returning from New York City and finds a ransom note and a sneaker instead of his violin. However, much of the story is not about the theft, but the mystery of how the protagonist ended up with the prized instrument in the first place. The Conspiracy’s heist is certainly interesting, and the investigation takes up a lot of air time. The premise has precedent in John Meade Falkner’s 1895 novel, The Lost Stradivarius. Like any high art item, instruments of this caliber make the news when lost or stolen. The Violin Conspiracyis a story about a stolen Stradivarius. As a nod to the other BWR blog posts written on mystery novels, here’s a recommendation for a musical mystery. |
