New Jerusalem: The Interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656 by David Ives
Usually I’m interested in plays that take place in a court house as we get glimpses into the flaws of the legal system. Ives is more known for his comedic pieces so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this play. To be honest, Ives is highly praised by many, but he’s just not my cup of tea. It was interesting to see Ives tackle something else, but I wasn’t too interested in the events. I had trouble getting invested to Baruch de Spinoza’s circumstances. This wasn’t awful by any means, but not something I would read on my own. It’s not something I would recommend my friends read either.
I am interested in finding out more about Baruch de Spinoza, though.
