NEW YORK—Feelings of joy and contentment, life going as usual—everything was perfectly normal, until it wasn’t. So it was for people on the mornings of Dec. 7, 1941, and Sept. 11, 2001, when, from seemingly out of nowhere, their lives were changed forever. Playwright Phelim McAleer looks at another such day in Unreported Story Society’s “October 7: In Their Own Words,” a “verbatim play” of eyewitness accounts of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacres in Israel.
