A Coat of Many Colors is an anthology of five plays I have written that feature Jewish characters. While Shylock is fictional, all the others are based on real people. They include a wide range of people from a Hollywood script writer who helped Jewish writers and actors persecuted by the Nazi immigrate to the U.S., to Harry Houdini, to the last queen of Tahiti. Taken as a group these characters demonstrate that their is no such thing as a Jewish stereotype.
