About the event

In the midst of the Second World War, a new Yiddish theatre company emerged in London with the vision of “bettering” the theatrical offering in the city and serving as a hub for Yiddish culture, in not only in London but Europe. This talk will explore the history and legacy of London’s New Yiddish Theatre Company. It will introduce their artistic, social and moral mission alongside the ways this manifested in their everyday existence and performances, drawing on examples of plays produced by the Company. It will argue that the Company did indeed make significant contributions to the landscape of London’s Yiddish theatre, but ultimately did not manage to galvanise the long-term support necessary to sustain their own longevity as an art theatre in London.
