Edinburgh. 2am. Max falls for Eliana – but to marry her he must convert to Orthodox Judaism… despite already being Jewish. Confused? Imagine how he feels.

A hilarious, heartbreaking true story about love, identity and belonging, from one half of comedy double-act Max & Ivan. 

Adapted from Max’s critically acclaimed memoir Making the Cut: An Unorthodox Love Story (Ebury/Penguin), this is your chance to see Max preview the show ahead of a run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Directed by Tom Parry
