With heartbreaking tenderness, Faygele confronts the devastating consequences of being unloved for who you are — now playing at the Marylebone Theatre. The story follows Ari Freed (Ilan Galkoff), who immediately breaks the fourth wall to inform the audience they're about to witness a tragedy. At just 18, navigating family, faith and identity, Ari carries the weight of multiple worlds on his shoulders.
Galkoff's performance is extraordinary — technically precise and emotionally raw in equal measure. The Marylebone Theatre's intimate staging allows every beat to land with full force. The writing is lyrical without being precious, honest without being sentimental.
One of the most moving shows of the year. Don't miss it.
