Theatre and Judaism

This new title in the <i>Theatre &</i> series explores the intersections between theatre and Judaism offering a uniquely nuanced approach as a counterpart to the more common discourse surrounding Jewish theatre. Arguing that theatre allows for a subtle engagement with religious heritage that does not easily fall into a religious/secular dichotomy it examines the ways in which Jewish tradition lends itself to theatrical performance. With rigorous scholarship and a fresh perspective <i>Theatre and Judaism</i>promotes a transnational and comparative approach considering Judaism as a religious-cultural tradition rather than focusing on a particular national context.<br/><br/>Exciting and thought-provoking this is the perfect companion for undergraduate and postgraduate students of theatre or religious studies.
