The National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene presents the U.S. premiere of 'Gimpel Tam,' a new musical adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer's classic story written and directed by Moshe Yassur which opens on December 4.
Although written in 1952, 'The Chairs' did not run on Broadway until 1998, earning several Tony Award nominations. One of Ionesco's most popular plays, 'The Chairs' was first performed in Paris. It was soon praised for its unique style and became a defining example of Theatre of the Absurd - a literary philosophy that emphasized the absurdity and futility of the human condition.
