Steve Zuckerman directed NYC premieres of my stage-plays Today, I Am A Fountain Pen, A Rosen By Any Other Name, The Chopin Playoffs, North Shore Fish, Unexpected Tenderness; plus sundry readings of developing plays… and he directed a movie based upon North Shore Fish. So, when I tell you I know Zuck’s work, dude, believe it. Steve Zuckerman is a playwright’s dream director. He has great script instincts, amazing grace with actors, a superb visual sense, and an artist’s soul. If your play needs a little more than that, you might want to try Elia Kazan … but he hasn’t been taking phone calls for a while. - Israel Horovitz, Playwright
