Theodore Bikel, Act 1

⊆ May 15th, 2007 by lorraine treanor | ˜

Fortunately for us all, renowned performer Theodore Bikel has found a welcome at Theater J. In town to play the title role in the staged reading of Shylock, Mr. Bikel talks about the inherent anti-Semitism in Shakespeare’s character that led to playwright Arnold Wesker’s new interpretation.  In 2005, Theater J produced the powerful drama The Disputation featuring Mr. Bikel. Here he tells the history behind this important play and his commitment to its future.

    WOW- that was a great interview Joel. I look forward to hearing Part II!
    Like yourself I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend the reading of Shylock and to have once again witnessed the magic of Theodore Bikel.
