Theatre and Judaism Summary

Theatre and Judaism by Yair Lipshitz (Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel)

This new title in the Theatre & series explores the intersections between theatre and Judaism, offering a uniquely nuanced approach as a counterpart to the more common discourse surrounding Jewish theatre. Arguing that theatre allows for a subtle engagement with religious heritage that does not easily fall into a religious/secular dichotomy, it examines the ways in which Jewish tradition lends itself to theatrical performance. With rigorous scholarship and a fresh perspective, Theatre and Judaism promotes a transnational and comparative approach, considering Judaism as a religious-cultural tradition rather than focusing on a particular national context. Exciting and thought-provoking, this is the perfect companion for undergraduate and postgraduate students of theatre or religious studies.

Theatre and Judaism Reviews

Theatre & Judaism provides a smart, incisive primer on the historical relationship between Jewish religious discourse and the performing arts. At the same time, the book's examination of scriptural exegesis in contemporary plays demonstrates theatre's potential to shed new light on questions of faith, secularism, and cultural continuity. * Henry Bial, University of Kansas, USA *
