The God of Vengeance; Drama in Three Acts by Isaac Goldberg, Sholem Asch
3.0
I am always on the lookout for books that bring the world of my grandparents closer to me. I didn't expect that to include lesbian lovers, but so much the better. I only knew my grandparents from the 1960's onward, when they were relatively Americanized (although one pair spoke only Yiddish and never did learn English) but I can imagine them in a similar setting, minus the brothel (or so I assume). I'd love to see it performed/interpreted by a Jewish theater today. (I'd also love to see it as a performance billed as Fiddler on the Roof, then sprung on the unsuspecting audience ;)
Update: PBS has a streaming video of the Broadway play 'Indecent', which is sort of a meta version of the play - it's a play about the play, so it gives a general sense of what the original was about while recounting its reception. I think it did a good job on the themes in the play, but I'd still like to see a faithful performance of the original, set in the original time period - especially in light of today's growing antisemitism and the conflicting identities of Jews today.
