Staged Reading | New Jewish Voices: Selections from A People


L M Feldman's A People is a spectacle of ambitious scope, exploring and exploding the history and present of the Jewish diaspora. Feldman’s work is known as theatrical, deeply intimate and ambitious. Come and discover the personal exploration of her Jewish identity. A People is a mosaic of eras and lands; generations and deserts; people lost and people searching; angry young women; sad old men; angels; history; memory; and imagination. A multigenerational, kaleidoscopic journey across time & culture, the play transports its audience to a timeless festival atmosphere in which 2,000 years can pass in one hour, spinning a buoyant bittersweet tale of fellowship and longing, all while wrestling with the question: What is my relationship to those who came before me? And are we – or is anyone – still a people?
