Ghetto [גטו]
Author(s): Joshua Sobol
A glimpse into ghetto life. The play unfolds as a memory of a former artistic director of the Wilna ghetto theater and explores the life and death decisions of Mr. Gens, head of ghetto; the mixed emotions of Chaja, an actress in the troupe; and the questionable ethics of Weiskopf, a tailor. At times <em>Ghetto</em> is a play within a play. It contains songs that were actually sung in the ghettos.
