A sweet story of love and theater among the actors of the Yiddish Theater in New York while they rehearse and produce a production of The Dybbuk, in New York and Latina America. Prose captures the lilt of Yiddish under the English-language description and dialogue. Yiddish itself is used very sparingly and shouldn't confuse anyone unfamiliar with the language.
