It only had a short run on Broadway in 1964 despite being directed by Chayefsky himself and featuring a cast including Luther Adler and Peter Falk.[1] This experience scarred Chayefsky from having his plays produced on Broadway for the rest of his career. David Amram composed acappella vocal music for the play and hired two perfect pitch singers to get the ensemble started on key. Tyrone Guthrie was scheduled to direct but when he became unavailable Chayefsky decided he would direct it himself, his first and last time directing. Many years later, when asked by original cast member Robert Aberdeen if he had any un produced plays that he would consider having produced, Chayefsky replied, "Bob, I'm not interested in theater. There's no money in Theater." Jerome Robbins came in (Known as the Doctor) to try to help to no avail. David Amram said of the play, "If Guthrie and not Chayefsky had directed it, we'd still be running." [2]Original cast
ReceptionThe Passion of Josef D. was not well-received upon its initial release.[3] Howard Taubman wrote, "Since he can write with tension and power, Mr. Chayefsky has developed some scenes that have dramatic intensity. But his intoxication with the thunder of the English language also has betrayed him into bursts of rhetoric. His careful researching of his subject has led him into long discourses that are not dramatic at all, but oratorical flourishes in hindsight."[4]References1. ^The Passion of Josef D at Playbill 2. ^ [https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/09/obituaries/paddy-chayefsky-1923-1981.html Paddy Chayefsky obituary New York Times] accessed 29 Oct 2013 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/02/16/paddy-chayefsky-the-dark-prophet-of-network-news|title=Paddy Chayefsky: The Dark Prophet of 'Network' News|last=Teeman|first=Tim|website=The Daily Beast|date=February 16, 2014|accessdate=May 5, 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1964/02/12/the-theater-chayefskys-passion-of-josef-d.html|title=The Theater: Chayefsky's ‘Passion of Josef D.’|last=Taubman|first=Howard|newspaper=The New York Times|date=February 12, 1964|accessdate=May 5, 2017}} External links
