Following the success of its first sold-out event, The Jewish Dramatic Association of London (JDAL) is hosting its second evening of Jewish theatre at Upstairs at the Gatehouse Theatre in Highgate on Sunday 23 February.
Established by Natan Paul-Collis, JDAL prides itself on promoting Jewish actors and playwrights. On Sunday there will be six short (ten-minute) plays.
The Split by Lucy Singer – two dinners, two bills. The big question is: who is paying?!
The Suitcase by Stuart Brown – a married couple come to a major decision about their life together.
The Jello Shot by Samara Siskind. Beth wants to book a photoshoot, but has an unusual request…
A Thread and Needle by Elijah Lifton – it’s Whilbert’s first day at the haberdashery. Nothing quite goes to plan.
Babel at the Table by Natan Paul-Collis – two feuding brothers go on a double date with their girlfriends. What’s the worst that could happen?
Sunday 23 February 7.30pm at Upstairs at the Gatehouse 1 North Rd, Highgate Village, N6 4BD. upstairsatthegatehouse.com
