  3. The Megillah


A musical comedy based on the collection of poems by Itzik Manger, one of the 20th century's important poets. The play tells the Purim story from the Scroll of Esther taking place in the shtetl at the beginning of the last century. Megillah characters: Ahasuerus, Queen Esther, Mordechai the Jew, and Haman are presented through the eyes of a group of tailors and seamstresses in Purimshpiel costumes, all speaking and singing in juicy Yiddish.
