The God Couple 

Israel's first prime minister, David Ben Gurion, reportedly joked that where there are two Jews, there are three opinions. So it is in Seth Rozin's joke-titled comedy, Two Jews Walk Into a War ... , based on the true story of the last two Jews in Taliban-ruled Kabul. One would suppose that a common enemy (the Taliban, under which they suffer persecution and bullets) and a common goal (preserving Judaism in Afghanistan) would encourage unity within the world's tiniest Jewish community, but its two sole members, Ishaq and Zeblyan, despise each other. Can the two save their synagogue, while bickering every step of the way? (Their first step is to re-create its Taliban-destroyed Torah, letter for letter and comma for comma.) The kvetching previews at 7:30 p.m. tonight through Friday, then opens officially at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Unicorn Theatre (3828 Main, 816-531-7529). Tickets cost $22.50 in previews, $32.50 to $37.50 after.— Grace Suh
