… of immense interest to feminists, American historians, and people interested in the long history of resistance and protest in the United States … Plag’s adapation to show at Festival of Jewish Theater and Ideas …

This adaptation uses wit and humor to illuminate history from below, as it celebrates the life of Emma Goldman, the anarchist, feminist, and free-spirited thinker who was exiled from the United States because of her outspoken views.

At this year’s Festival of Jewish Theater and Ideas to be held May 20 through June 14, 2009 in New York City; Martina Plag and Leah Walton reveal the life of the remarkable Emma Goldman through innovative storytelling and theatrical devises that transform a birdcage into a prison, a working gramophone into a wedding hall and cafe, capture turn-of-the-last century New York City and two transAtlantic voyages all in the space of a brown-stone parlor.

The festival will be held in conjunction with the annual conference of the Association for Jewish Theatre (AJT),to be held June 6 through 10, an international conference of theater professionals in the area of producing and creating Jewish theater. Their main theater space will be Theater Three (home of the Mint Theater), a 99-seat theater located at 43rd Street and Eighth Avenue.
