Voices / New Work Mr. Singer & His Demons - by Miriam Hoffman and Rena Borow - a drama |
|
 |
This project deals with the
turmoil of Nobel Laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer
as he sits at the end of his life in his
condominium on Miami Beach. His brain is consumed
by the dementia of advanced Alzheimers disease,
and his mind wanders back and forth from reality
to the memories which shaped his life and his
work. Within the framework of a journalist’s
interview, he remembers his family as his
fictional characters come to life. They begin to
hound him with questions, as we see the parallels
between his dysfunctional family and his
characterizations. This ‘Unauthorized’
dramatic biography of Isaac Bashevis Singer
explores the last hours of his life in Miami
Beach. As Isaac struggles to keep his sanity, the
demons in his own life come back to confront and
comfort him. 3 versions available - All English, all Yiddish and/or a combination (Cast - 6 characters / one set.) |
