Episode Details

A hilarious and heartfelt new comedy, Giraffe, follows Eliana Goldstein, a gay Jewish woman navigating life with late-diagnosed autism, as she’s forced to flee her home after a bizarre 50-meter exclusion zone imposed by a new neighbor. Starring and written by Abigail Weinstock, the play blends sharp wit, imaginative character work, and emotional depth as Eliana forms an unexpected bond with a neighbor’s daughter. With Weinstock’s knack for upper-class accents and her background in sketch comedy, the show offers a tender, funny, and deeply relatable exploration of feeling like an outsider — like a gangly giraffe trying to fit in. Directed by Emma Jude Harris, it’s a moving, smart, and laugh-out-loud production running at the Pleasance Courtyard until August 31.
