Offers new insights into The Dybbuk and of some of its noteworthy productions and adaptations...The book augments earlier scholarship that situates the play squarely among the great achievements of 20th-century Western theater, astutely probes its complicated and nuanced gender politics, walks us through numerous examples of how it was received in its early years, and takes us on a tour of how it has inspired, and continues to inspire, artists and audiences. - Joel Berkowitz, University of Wisconsin The essays in this volume, like The Dybbuk and its performers themselves, roam across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East as they examine the play's origins, incarnations, and the controversies it has raised. The scholarship is not only sound and well-written, but also engaging and often moving. - Barbara Henry, University of Washington
