"Dreyfus" performed by Ann Belsky Moranis School Theater Arts Program at the Shavei Rachel High School for Girls
March 2003
Students in the Ann Belsky Moranis School Theater Arts Program at the Shavei Rachel High School for Girls received top marks for their standing-room only performance of "Dreyfus," by Jean-Claude Grumberg. The play, which takes place in 1930s Poland, focuses on a director's attempts at staging a play-within-a-play based on the Dreyfus story, with the agenda of increasing awareness of the situation of Jewish people in Europe. "The dialogue reflects the quest for Jewish identity and the struggle to determine the path which would ensure a Jewish future," explained school principal Danny Epstein, "themes which are still very much relevant today."
