...very slow first act is saved by the fine quality of the acting. E.G. Marshall plays a cranky Jacob Brackish with vigor and sternness. His Brackish is complex enough that you're never quite sure whether he is difficult because he's malicious or just because he has high standards.

For nearly 100 years, Jews and Arabs have been like Jacob and Esau, battling in the womb for the rights of the firstborn in their ancient motherland. The accommodation they announced last week, though still very rough and capable of igniting bonfires of violence among opponents of compromise, had one transcendent merit. A deal negotiated in secret by foes who had chosen...
