These works by David Pinski, a prominent Yiddish playwright and author, explore profound themes of Jewish identity, faith, and the human condition. Isaac Sheftel delves into the moral complexities of a man facing personal and communal challenges. The Last Jew is a thought-provoking narrative about survival, spirituality, and cultural continuity, while The Dumb Messiah tackles the expectations placed on messianic figures, reflecting the tension between hope and disillusionment. Pinski’s writing is rich in emotional depth and philosophical inquiry.David Pinski (1872-1959) was a Yiddish-language writer, best known as a playwright. At a time when Eastern Europe was only beginning to experience the industrial revolution, Pinski was the first to introduce a play about urban Jewish workers. His work has stronger connections to German language literary traditions than Russian.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
