Well, I tell you. Vera will have nobody for a husband other than a doctor of medicine. Hyman. That may be. But your business is with your books, and don't come mixing in to other affairs. Stick to your books, and the best of health to you! Anna. Interrupting. What do you care if our son has his say? Hyman. I don't like a busy-body. It's none of his affair. Abram. For a while he remains standing, and then assumes an imposing attitude. Shakes his head and speaks to himself. Original: "It's no worry of his grandmother's." Ah! Despotism! Fanaticism! Chassidism, Obscurantism! Exit. Parents drink in each word with pride Sholom. That's a learned fellow for you! That's what you call knowledge!... Now then, just where are we at in regard to the match? I don't remember, with all this display of learning dinning my ears... Oh, yes... Shall I send a telegram or write a post-card to my partner about the match, saying that... Anna. Interrupting. Don't inconvenience yourself. Send no telegrams and write no post-cards. The match is not to our taste. Hyman. No, the match is not to our taste. Sholom. And why not? Anna. Because we want a doctor. Now, do you know? Once and for all time, she must marry a doctor! That's what we want for her. From Chassid: Member of a fanatical Jewish sect. Sholom. A doctor, you say? Well, that's your affair. If you say doctor, let it be a doctor, then. Hyman. To Anna. Doctor, you say? And you won't have any other? Anna. I won't think of any other. Hyman. Well, I'll have you understand that I want a business man. I've told you time and again that I want a business man and not a doctor! A great bargain you buy with these doctor-poctors. They study and study, and what does it all amount to? When trouble comes, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Plays of the Yiddish Theatre The plays offered to the English reading public in this volume are not presented as the crowning achievement of a national stage which is ready to assume its place among the great theatres of the world. The purpose of their publication is rather to show the present stage of development in a dramatic literature which bids fair to give articulate expression to the esthetic sense of a widely scattered people whose social isolation has preserved to them traditions, customs and habits of thought which, with but slight variation, have persisted from the earliest period of recorded history and are alien to the people among whom they dwell. Drama springing from such a source naturally limits itself at the outset to the rather elastic class of compositions designated as "folk plays," in which a simple motivation is employed to depict incidents of daily life and characters drawn from the common types familiar to author and audience alike.

Download or read book New York s Yiddish Theater written by Edna Nahshon and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early decades of the twentieth century, a vibrant theatrical culture took shape on New York City's Lower East Side. Original dramas, comedies, musicals, and vaudeville, along with sophisticated productions of Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Chekhov, were innovatively staged for crowds that rivaled the audiences on Broadway. Though these productions were in Yiddish and catered to Eastern European, Jewish audiences (the largest immigrant group in the city at the time), their artistic innovations, energetic style, and engagement with politics and the world around them came to influence all facets of the American stage. Vividly illustrated and with essays from leading historians and critics, this book recounts the heyday of "Yiddish Broadway" and its vital contribution to American Jewish life and crossover to the broader American culture. These performances grappled with Jewish nationalism, labor relations, women's rights, religious observance, acculturation, and assimilation. They reflected a range of genres, from tear-jerkers to experimental theater. The artists who came of age in this world include Stella Adler, Eddie Cantor, Jerry Lewis, Sophie Tucker, Mel Brooks, and Joan Rivers. The story of New York's Yiddish theater is a tale of creativity and legacy and of immigrants who, in the process of becoming Americans, had an enormous impact on the country's cultural and artistic development.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Plays of the Yiddish Theatre: Second Series The two pieces by Pinski included in the present collection of Yiddish plays reveal that noted dramatist in two distinct manners. "Little Heroes," indeed, is one of the most original works of art engendered by the present war. Not only does it reflect, with genuine humor and pathos, the souls of the little ones confronted by a gigantic phenomenon that they cannot understand, but these little heroes mirror quite aptly the minds and the feelings of those larger children whom they call their parents. The play was written in 1916, and has been very successfully produced. It merits a place among the world's juvenile classics. "The Stranger" (or, "The Eternal Jew") is in some respects akin to Pinski's "Abigail" in the previous collection. Where the latter is constructed from one of the episodes in the life of King David, however, the former originates in a short legend from the Talmud. For a better appreciation of the play (which is the first of a tetralogy upon the theme of the Wandering Jew, each part complete in itself) I translate the Midrash legend. Nothing could better reveal how Pinski enriches his sources with most imaginative and dramatic touches, than a comparison of the monotonous, gossipy Midrash tale with the colorful drama developed from it.
