OUT OF THE DEPTHS
an original play by CHAIM POTOK
Staged Reading on Sunday, February 3, 2 PM
So says Young Ansky in Chaim Potok’s original play, Out of the Depths. Based on the life of Solomon Rappaport (S. Ansky), the play begins in 1920 in a Warsaw rehearsal room where the Vilna Troupe is rehearsing Ansky’s The Dybbuk. Potok transports the audience to various times and locations in Ansky’s life and against a backdrop of war and revolution, shows us how Ansky’s own life evolved into The Dybbuk. Directed by David Bassuk and introduced by Rena Potok, the performance celebrates the publication of The Collected Plays of Chaim Potok, edited by Ms. Potok. A book signing follows the program.
