A play about love, guilt, and survival, adapted from a novel by Isaac Bashevis Singer. At Beit Lessin Theatre, 44 Frishman Street, Tel Aviv.
A stage adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s novel: New York, 1949. The city is bustling, the world is trying to recover from the war, and Herman Broder is seeking a fresh start. He lives between two women: his wife, a Polish peasant woman who saved his life during the war, and a beautiful, wounded young woman to whom he is drawn, sweeping him into a stormy, passionate affair—just as his first wife suddenly returns from the dead.
Amid guilt, desire, survival, and increasingly tangled lies, Herman tries to hold on to the future without looking back, but the past will not let go. The powerful work by Isaac Bashevis Singer, one of the great and influential writers of the 20th century and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, was adapted into a film that achieved worldwide success, was nominated for an Oscar, and became a modern classic. The stage adaptation offers a sharp, sweeping, and unsettling look at love, guilt, and the possibility—or illusion—of a fresh start.
