The humor in LYSISTRATA is the focus of this latest adaptation. Playwright Edward Einhorn,
known for his comic absurdist plays, translates the ancient Greek humor into something equally
amusing to a modern audience, without losing the flavor of the ancient text. Complete with essays,
selected music, and a second version of the play for inventive directors, this newest adaptation of
Aristophanes' philosophical comedy focuses on three elements of the human condition that have not
changed in nearly 2500 years: war, sex, and, most of all, laughter.

Golem Stories retells an old Kabalistic legend. It's a ghost story and a love
story, about a childlike clay man who may be a demon inside. In The Living Methuselah, the oldest living man survives every
disaster is human history, with the help of his wife Serach, the oldest
living woman. But when a doctor tells him he will only live until the
end of the play, will this be his final curtain? To find the title character of A Shylock, Jacob Levy interrogates every character in The Merchant of
Venice, but oddly Hamlet may know the most-although this Hamlet is a
woman. And in One-Eyed Moses and the Churning Red Sea, Rabbi Tzipporah
Finestein dreams Moses is a pirate captain, but what do the dreams mean?
Two congregants hold the key. |
