Inspired by a true story, The Steel Man follows Jake Gellert as he struggles to escape from the shadow of his larger-than-life father, Leo, a Hungarian Jewish Holocaust survivor. While Leo remains consumed by the past and a desire to avenge the family he lost, Jake searches for a way to forge his own identity and help his father find peace.

From the team behind hit shows Gene & Gilda and The Sabbath Girl, this play is a powerful drama that delves into themes of legacy, identity, and the complex bond between father and son.
