A Companion to British-Jewish Theatre Since the 1950s
The first of its kind, this companion to British-Jewish theatre brings a neglected dimension in the work of many prominent British theatre-makers to the fore. Its structure reflects the historical development of British-Jewish theatre from the 1950s onwards, beginning with an analysis of the first generation of writers that now forms the core of post-war British drama (including Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter and Arnold Wesker) and moving on to sign…
Wrestling with Shylock
How does Shakespeare’s ambivalent character Shylock affect British theatre artists of Jewish heritage today? Since the 1970s, stage adaptations of The Merchant by British Jewish directors and actors have struggled to glean an interpretation that would make The Merchant relevant or palatable for a post-Shoah generation. This article has a double focus: we discuss the difference between the adaptations of the older generation – Arnold Wesker’s char…

Brahm began as an influential theatre critic who, throughout the 1880s, fought against the popular theatre which was do…

In her preface to Theater in Israel, Linda Ben-Zvi admits that her rather hefty book started out “as a modest corrective” to what she perceived to be a vibrantly political and (at least in English) under-studied national theatre. It soon became apparent, [End Page 88] however, th…
Pulling the Pants off History: "Politics and Postmodernism in Thomas Bernhard's "Eve of Retirement
Eve of Retirement (Vor dem Ruhestand, 1979) is one of Thomas Bernhard's most historically specific plays; it is also one of his most ritualistic. A play of doubleness and unsynthesizable tensions, it is both realistic and metaphoric, structured both causally and cyclically, enacting a consciousness of historical specificity and ritualized changelessness. Steeped in public history, it simultaneously ritualizes history through private memory. This …
