Vilna's Got a Golem

Is the play subversive? It's performed in Yiddish though the audience hears English, so the Russian official must rely on an actor to translate for him. He is fed a humorously softened version of the witty allegory about government interference with the arts

Eventually dissension breaks out between those actors who want to give the defiant play as it is written and those who want to do an inoffensive comedy

"A confident, carefully thought out work [that] translates Brechtian distancing techniques into a deceptively chipper American style" ~ N.Y. Times

"Fiercely topical, hugely theatrical and unnervingly funny" ~ Variety
