Carnegie Hall

After its Yiddish-language world premiere nearly a century ago, audiences are now able to hear Sholem Asch’s haunting WWI play as a radio drama in its first-ever complete English translation by Caraid O’Brien. The story takes place in the rubble of a decimated synagogue in Poland directly after the war. Surviving members of the Jewish community gather together to decide how to rebuild their lives. Dealing with dislocation, madness, and death, all they have left is a powerful hope for a prosperous, new future.
