Israeli playwright and director Hanoch Levin was one of the most
original and innovative writers of his generation. Although Levin
is familiar within the Israeli cultural context--and despite the
steadily growing stream of literary and theatrical research of his
oeuvre--there are few resources on his work available outside of
Israel. The present volume, containing a selection of ten of his
plays, is the first comprehensive effort to present this unique
playwright and director to a broad readership.
Levin's artistic credo was based on a constant urge to criticize
Israeli society and its mainstream ideology while simultaneously
confronting the basic human and existential issues of life and
death. A whole generation of Israeli theater audiences has grown up
on Levin's performances with all their paradoxical complexities. At
this point, just a few years after his death from cancer in 1999 at
the age of 56, it may not be possible to evaluate the full impact
of his work. But this volume will contribute significantly to
scholarship in this direction and to the appreciation of Levin's
unique style.
