The Tenth Man

The Tenth Man

Gunston Arts Center
2700 S. Lang Street Arlington

The Tenth Man begins when the old men who belong to a decaying orthodox synagogue in New York City decide to hold a Jewish exorcism to banish the demons that have possessed Evelyn Foreman, the granddaughter of one of their members. But Jewish religious law requires a minyan, or quorum of ten, for the ritual to work, and the amateur exorcists only number nine. They convince a young man who happens to be passing by to complete their group. What follows is an unusual romance punctuated by wit and surprises, as well as Chayefsky’s commentary on religion and faith
