Tamar Nach­many's Yiddish/English Play Debuts!

http://blogs.citypaper.com/index.php/2012/04/hopkins-students-yiddishenglish-play-debuts/

Inspired by the erotic story “Teibele And Hur­mizah” by Isaac Bashe­vis Singer, Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­sity stu­dent Tamar Nach­many has adapted the story into a play that incor­po­rates a con­gru­ous mix of Eng­lish and Yiddish! The play, with accom­pa­ny­ing music from Charm City Klezmer, will be per­formed on April 13 and 14 at the Arel­lano The­ater at Johns Hop­kins Uni­ver­sity, April 19 at the Jew­ish Museum of Mary­land, and April 21 at the Bell Foundry at 1539 N. Calvert St. (Sta­tion North). The shows will open with Tal­mu­dic standup by the poet Alexan­der Nemser and a short screen­ing of Mugi Takei’s erotic, stop-motion ani­ma­tions.

More infor­ma­tion can be found on the Face­book page; all shows are free!
