Theatre and Judaism

More about the book

"How do theatre and Judaism intersect? Can theatre offer a unique medium for engaging with religion? Theatre and Judaism rethinks the assumption that the Jewish religious establishment represses theatrical activity, offering an alternative model in which drama serves to interpret, embody and interact with religious traditions. Drawing on a range of transnational and comparative case studies, Yair Lipshitz demonstrates the vitality of theatre within both religious and secular Jewish communities throughout history." - Publisher.
