The Dybbuk

Home>Plays>The Dybbuk

In 1922, Evgeny Vakhtangov directed a production of The Dybbuk by An-sky (real name S.A. Rapaport) for the Habimah theater troupe. Although the play was performed in Hebrew, which Vakhtangov did not know, he was able (with the help of the Jewish artist Natan Altman) to create a stunning production of this unusual play.
