A Jewish Theater Company Presents
Last Tree in Jerusalem / A Page of Talmud two plays by Dani Horowitz (translated by Yoni Oppenheim, Yael S. Feldman and Michael Posnick)
Tickets are $18 with for members, use code: AJT
Meet up with Artistic Director of 24/6, Yoni Oppenheim and other AJT Members.
Riven by internal strife, ecological disaster, and interference from foreign powers, can society survive? Set nearly two millennia ago but still resonant today, acclaimed Israeli playwright Dani Horowitz’s interrelated plays Last Tree in Jerusalem (world premiere translation) and A Page of Talmud tell the seminal Talmudic stories “Kamtza and Bar Kamtza” and “The Oven of Achnai.” These timely Jewish stories examine the cost of humiliation and explore what it means to be a member of a community, to be a leader, to have moral courage, and to resist.
