Synopsis

Kushner's imaginative retelling of the classic mystical legend, <i>The Dybbuk</i>, 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.

<i>The Dybbuk</i> 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.
