Synopsis
Kushner's imaginative retelling of the classic mystical legend, The Dybbuk, by S. Ansky, the noted Russian and Yiddish-language folklorist, novelist and dramatist.
Ansky formed an expedition which roamed throughout the Ukraine to preserve and collect Hasidic folktales.
The Dybbuk was a product of that journey.
Written before the outbreak of World War I, it wasn't produced until 1920, shortly after Ansky's death.
It has been much-produced worldwide ever since.
