Two Off Broadway plays, both unsatisfying in their own unique ways, are taking on Islamofascism, Islamophobia, and the assimilation agonies of anyone trapped between those unforgiving abutments. Both are designed to lance my distended white-liberal pieties, and neither can be accused of subtlety. One skirts melodrama; the other is lightly atrocious.The light atrocity is Modern Terrorism, or They Who Want to Kill Us and How We Learn to Love Them. (And I have absolutely no doubt its young, clever, ballsy author, Jon Kern, a wit from the Simpsons stable, will go on to write a real and perhaps even really good play someday.)

In 1934, unsatisfied with Group Theatre co-founder Lee Strasberg's teaching of Konstantin Stanislavsky's techniques, the determined Adler traveled to Paris and studied with Stanislavsky himself. She returned to the Group with her own understanding of his work and offered acting classes to other members, including Sanford Meisner, Elia Kazan, and Robert Lewis.After a sojourn in Hollywood, where she appeared in such films as "Love on Toast" and "The Shadow of the Thin Man," Adler returned to New York and London to direct and act in numerous plays and to teach at the Erwin Piscator...
