SUMMARY:Queen Esther's dilemma - The Musical
DESCRIPTION:The Queen Esther’s Dilemma\, a musical by Samuel J. Bernstein\, is inspired by the Biblical Book of Esther. This original musical play blends humor with anguish\, tragedy with triumph\, while exploring Jewish identity in all its complexities. \nFour exceptional performances: \nMarch 1st at 2 pm (special Purim performance)\nMarch 4th at 8 pm (opening night)\nMarch 13th at 3 pm\nMarch 18th at 6 pm \nPerformances will take place at the Center for Jewish located at 15 West 16th Street\, New York NY 10011. \nTickets are $20 and $30. \nIn The Queens Dilemma\, inspired by the Biblical Book of Esther\, a contemporary Purim Party is interwoven with the principal features of the traditional Purim story. The party includes Purim games; dancing; singing; and\, of course\, the drinking of many cups of wine. The Biblical narrative recounts the efforts of Haman\, an evil Persian\, to annihilate the Jews\, and the actions of Queen Esther; Mordechai\, her cousin; and King Ahasuerus to counteract the machinations of Haman. In this theatrical rendering\, Esther faces various difficult ethical problems as she strives to be a woman loyal to the interests of the Jews\, as interpreted by Mordechai\, and yet a person with strong pacifistic inclinations. \nFull production with a cast of 8 actors and orchestra.
