Jewish theatre


Our workshop about the Jewish theatre gave us a lot of new information about the greatest Jewish theatres in Tel Aviv, Moscow and New York. Unfortunately, there is no Professional theatre in Slovakia nowadays.
Habima National Theatre located in Tel Aviv, is Israel's national theatre and one of the first Hebrew language theatres. In 1928 Habima invited director Aleksei Dikiy from the Moscow Art Theatre. Dikiy directed two successful plays for Habima: one was Der Oytser (The Treasure), a play in Yiddish by Sholom Aleichem, that premiered on December 29, 1928, the second was The Crown, a play by David Calderon, that premiered on May 23, 1929 in Tel Aviv. With the success of Dikiy's directorship in the season of 1928/29, Habima gained reputation as a national Jewish theatre with a permanent repertoire and stage in Tel Aviv.
The Moscow State Jewish Theater, also known by its acronym GOSET was a Yiddish theater company established in 1919 and shut down in 1948 by the Soviet authorities. The theater's repertoire included adaptations of Sholom Aleichem, such as Tevye the Milkman (also adopted in the West as Fiddler on the Roof),and of Avrom Goldfadn, such as Bar Kokhba, as well as works by contemporary Soviet Yiddish writers, such as Perets Markish and Dovid Bergelson. The theater also performed William Shakespeare's King Lear to great acclaim.
The Jewish Theater of New York is a theatre company founded in 1994, with the popular production of One Hundred Gates by playwright/director Tuvia Tenenbom. As of 2003, The Jewish Theater of New York is the only English-speaking Jewish theatre company in New York state. Some of its shows, such as Father of the Angels, Love Letters to Adolf Hitler, Diary of Adolf Eichmann, The Suicide Bomber, Love in Great Neck, The Last Virgin, Last Jew in Europe and others, have been written about in much of the Western press and are also studied in universities.
