1970s - Brodner

Robert A. Brodner, M.D., FW ’76, a neurosurgeon in private practice in Palm Beach, Fla., co-authored a play entitled Hand-shake, about a patient who undergoes a surgical pallidotomy for Parkinson’s disease and the interrelationships between the patient, his family and the surgeon. The play had several readings in New York and Palm Beach, as well as a workshop production at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York and an Off-Broadway world premiere last year at the Miranda Theater, where it enjoyed a successful six-week run.
