Yiddish Voices

This book provides the first ever English translation of the Yiddish play, Mississippi. Penned in 1935 by Leyb Malakh, it was commissioned for production by a Warsaw-based experimental Yiddish theatre company and was focused on the racial injustice of the Scottsboro Boys case which began with the wrongful arrest of nine African-American youths in Alabama, 1931. The book includes a detailed, multifaceted scholarly introduction which ranges widely and effectively across the various historical and literary contexts in which the play can be appreciated.

As our volume shows, both the writer and the director, Michal Weichert, were keen to depict a dramatic episode from contemporary life that reflected the leftist goals and ideas to which they were devoted. Alyssa Quint examines the fact that while the plight of the Scottsboro Boys lasted throughout the 1930s and inspired works of Communist or leftist struggle by a substantial number of artists and writers in the United States, few beyond America took on the subject. She looks at how Malakh's drama reflects the influence of the African American writer Langston Hughes, who wrote Scottsboro Limited in 1931 after the Boys' first trial when they were sentenced to death. Writing in 1935, after a number of successful appeals, Malakh refers to the rallies that took place throughout Europe in protest of the Boys' arrest and sentencing. The introduction also shows how the play reflects the influence of 'synchronous theater' (akin to immersive theater) as well as other avant-garde theatrical strategies of the time. Quint goes on to consider the substantial success of Mississippi, which played on city stages at least one hundred times throughout Poland and attracted significant critical attention, and what this can tell us about the connection between the Jewish people of Europe and African-Americans around this time.

Laura Hope and Philippa Kelly make use of first-hand interviews with directors, actors, designers, and critics, as well as their own experiences in the theatre, to open up feminist dramaturgy as a field of enquiry and performance possibility. Resisting dogma, the authors cast a critical eye on past and present practices as they argue for the feminist dramaturg's role in shaping a theatre company's sense of its production potential.

The Essential Guide to Doing the School Play

Joss Marsh's stirring book traces the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, from its origins in Dickens's celebrity, through Dickens impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema and his enmeshment in the complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy - from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.
