A man recently diagnosed with cancer goes to see his doctor (no, this isn’t the setup for a Jewish joke), and finds out a mistake has been made: He doesn’t have cancer after all. What is it like to live your life as if you’re dying, only to find out you aren’t? Jewish values about death and life in the era of social media inform “Life Gone Viral,” a comic play starring Charlie Varon and Jeri Lynn Cohen, written and directed by David Ford. The May 13 performance is a benefit for Or Shalom Jewish Community in San Francisco.
