Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors ★★★★ — Jewish Renaissance

4 weeks ago | jewishrenaissance.org.uk | Danielle Goldstein

Bad puns, fab comedy! Or it is in the case of this Broadway hit making its British debutI’ve always loved small-cast shows with everyone getting to switch roles. It’s a dead cert for comedy. So here, just five actors get to rotate characters, chameleon-like. And if I reveal that Sebastien Torkia plays not just hero(ine) and vampire prey Mina Westfeldt, but also vampire hunter Van Helsing, you’ll have more than half a clue that there’s a satisfactory abundance of gender-bending pansexuality too.

1 month ago | jewishrenaissance.org.uk | Danielle Goldstein

An impressive retrospective of the Hungarian modernist artist in suitably stunning surroundsLili Ország (1926-1978) was a highly intellectual modernist painter, whose primary interests were religion, faith and spiritual revelation. It's fitting then that Wanderings / Bolyongások takes place in a deconsecrated Baroque church that's part of the Kiscelli Museum in Budapest; fulfilling a lifelong dream that the Hungarian artist had to exhibit her paintings in such a place.

Celebrating the true story of young people with the courage to stand up to a notoriously cruel regime, whatever the costUpon entering Marylebone Theatre’s welcoming, intimate auditorium, I was struck by the youthfulness of the audience and atmosphere of excited anticipation. I even asked some of them if they were a drama school group, but they assured me they were not.

As a number of cinemas celebrate the work of radical filmmaker Chantal Akerman, Julia Wagner picks five films from the artist's canon that you won't want to missBelgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman (1950-2015) was one of the most significant Jewish artists of a generation.

An effective and affecting musical charting the meeting and melting points of a Jewish couple over a period of yearsFrom the moment the lights go up on a woman tossing her long curly locks as she passionately sweeps the keys of a piano, a young man leaning intently over her, the atmosphere in the room is heightened. There is a sense, an anticipation, that anything might happen…Indeed, Debs and Jonathan are a couple as mutually attracted as they are opposed.
