BASHEVIS'S DEMONS by Isaac Bashevis Singer

"Amazing"... "Brilliant"... "SOOO Jewish!" but a few of the comments we've received

BASHEVIS’S DEMONS: 3 Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer is being presented in a limited run Off-Broadway at Theatre 154, 154 Christopher Street (between Greenwich & Washington Streets), with performances running through January 5^th.

The tales featured in BASHEVIS’S DEMONS serve up demons, saints, sinners, hope, despair, and at least two chickens, all in Isaac Bashevis Singer’s original Yiddish with full English supertitles. In The Mirror, a young woman – ignored by her husband the traveling salesman – steps through a mirror into the world of demons, where she can be the center of attention. In The Last Demon, a Jewish devil fails to bring down a shtetl rabbi. Exiled to the small town as Satan’s punishment, he witnesses the destruction of the Jewish community, including his nemesis the rabbi, by forces far crueler than his own and remains stuck there for eternity with nothing but the Yiddish word to console him.

Starring Shane Baker and Miryem-Khaye Seigel, BASHEVIS’S DEMONS is directed by Moshe Yassur with Beate Hein Bennett.

BASHEVIS’S DEMONS will be presented by the Congress for Jewish Culture in association with theater holders Out of the Box Theatrics and ChaShaMa. Founded in 1948, the Congress for Jewish Culture (Executive Director, Shane Baker) is a secular organization based in New York City dedicated to enriching Yiddish culture worldwide.
