Description
Tsipora Tsipkin participated in the first performance of the play. She writes:
The action did not all take place on a proscenium stage, but was scattered in different parts of the theater. And, since the setting of the play was a courthouse, the actors who played the parts of witnesses sat among the audience. I was one of those actors. It wasn’t easy to simultaneously maintain an artistic distance from the audience while creating the illusion of being one among them. The setting was spare, with a minimal amount of scenery. This production was quite original and experimental, as well as being consummately crafted, and it excited Warsaw’s Yiddish theater circles. Even people who rarely went to the Yiddish theater now streamed to the “Young Theater” to see our work. With its very first production, the “Young Theater” established its importance and created its audience.
