Delightfully entertaining vignette about an Eastern European Yenta
who visits her village Rabbi to voice a grievance and tells her
life story in the process. Requires a female dancer who can communicate
through movement and broad gesture. A technically demanding and
difficult coordination exercise for a mature, comic performer.
Training in the Graham technique would be helpful. A musical theater
background would also help. A man is also needed in a non-dancing
role.
