Directed by:

Gillian Eaton

This adapted by British actor-writer Bruce Meyers
requires two performers to enact multiple roles,
creating an entire shtetl society around two
doomed lovers, Leah and Chanon. The Dybbuk is a
gripping tale of unrequited love that has inspired
movies, operatic treatments and ballets over the
last seven decades.

It is a virtuoso, gender-bending turn, which will
keep theatregoers on the edge of their seats and
imagining these characters long after the curtain
goes down. Based on the classic by S. Ansky writ-
ten in Yiddish which was first produced by the
Vilna troupe in 1919 and a year later by the
Moscow. Art Theatre and subsequently it was
translated into English and produced by other
theatres throughout the world.

JET joins The Traveling Jewish Theatre and the
Winnipeg Jewish theatre in presenting this excit-
ing version of this classic play in our 2004-2005
season.
