Nathan Weinstein, Mystic, Connecticut (1966)

David Rayfiel’s short-lived 1966 Broadway comedy 'Nathan Weinstein, Mystic, Connecticut' completed a brief run of 3 performances at the historic Brooks Atkinson Theatre, remaining an essential prize for serious theater historians tracking mid-century dramatic footnotes. The fast-paced farcical plot centers on Nathan Weinstein, an eccentric, deeply neurotic Jewish businessman who operates a bizarre, struggling independent health-food resort hotel in rural New England, collapsing into farcical chaos when his family's secret infidelities and financial schemes collide over a single weekend. Directed by Raymond St. Jacques, it starred Anthony Holland.
