MAINSTAGE
AMSTERDAM by Maya Arad Yasur, Translated by Eran Edry
Four actors take us on the whirlwind, stream-of-consciousness journey of a Jewish woman living in Amsterdam who receives an overdue gas bill... from 1944. The bill’s implications send her on a complex and riveting exploration of identity, legacy and life in diaspora. Staged in an immediate and theatrical style, you’ll want to be there when Theatre Ariel presents this timely, unique production.
Content Note: Amsterdam contain strong language and adult themes.
* As Philadelphia's professional Jewish theatre, Theatre Ariel knows that some may have questions about our performing on Shabbat. We recognize that our Jewish audience members -- like the Jewish people themselves -- keep Shabbat in many different ways, or choose not to keep it in a traditional sense at all. We welcome all whose practice permits to spend Shabbat at a Theatre Ariel performance.
Because of Shabbat, we will not do monetary transactions on Friday nights (i.e., selling tickets at the door). In addition, we will have Shabbat-related programming on those nights, as well.
