Brooklyn Boy is both humorous and heart warming. Its vivid characters bring to life a poignant and universal theme. The plot revolves around a newly successful novelist, Eric Weiss, who has become famous after many years of struggle, but whose personal life is falling apart. His wife is out the door, his father is in the hospital, and his aunt tells him he should have worn a tie on the Today show. When Hollywood beckons, it seems as if all his dreams have come true. But he has a lot to learn in this funny and emotionally rich look at family, friends, faith, and fame.

In 2005, Brooklyn Boy ran on Broadway with Adam Arkin in the starring role. Critics praised the play for its humorous insight into the problems of a suddenly-celebrated writer who reconnects with his family in Brooklyn. The Hollywood Reporter called it "tough, insightful, bittersweet, funny, and wise." Variety said it was "...illuminated by sensitivity and humor, by sparkling naturalistic dialogue, and by the grace with which it extends a deeply personal story into a universal realm."
