The Salome Ensemble probes the entangled lives, works, and passions
of a political activist, a novelist, a screenwriter, and a movie
actress who collaborated in 1920s New York City. Together they
created the shape-shifting, genre-crossing Salome of the Tenements,
first a popular novel and then a Hollywood movie. The title
character was a combination Cinderella and Salome like the women
who conceived her. Rose Pastor Stokes was the role model. Anzia
Yezierska wrote the novel. Sonya Levien wrote the screenplay. Jetta
Goudal played her on the silver screen. Ginsberg considers the
women individually and collectively, exploring how they shaped and
reflected their cultural landscape. These European Jewish
immigrants pursued their own versions of the American dream,
escaped the squalor of sweatshops, knew romance and heartache, and
achieved prominence in politics, fashion, journalism, literature,
and film.
