Hanoch Levin's Krum: a play with two funerals and two weddings

Directed by Ariella Eshed
Translated by Jessica Cohen and Evan Fallenberg

An old Tel Avivi neighborhood. The balconies, the staircases, the local café, the cinema, the hospital, the cemetery. Krum, the returning citizen and Trudy his girlfriend, who gets married to Takhtikh, who's jealous of Krum, who's a friend of Silenti and Gloomer, who gets married to Doopa, who craves the Italian Bertoldo, who's after Tweety, who's Krum's true desire though he ends up living with his mother, who sits on the balcony and fends-off neighbour Felicia, who's scrambling with husband Dolce from Bar-Mitsvah to Bris, from wedding to funeral.

This sad, funny play, which premiered in 1975, is one of the greatest and most influential of Levin's many plays.

Thursday 26 Mar / Friday 27 Mar @ 7.30 pm
