1919. The Yiddish writer, David Pinski, is concerned chiefly with the probing of the human soul, not that intangible and inconsequential theme of so many vaporings, dubbed mystic and symbolistic by the literary labelers, but the hidden mainspring that initiates, and often guides, our actions. The reader will find very little of the conventional heroism and villainism with which most authors are concerned, and very much of the deeply human at which the majority of authors shake their heads. Found within are the stories entitled: Beruriah; Temptations of Rabbi Akiba; Johanan the High Priest; Zerubbabel; Drabkin, a Novelette of Proletarian Life; Black Cat; Tale of a Hungry Man; and In the Storm.

David Pinski (1872-1959) was a Yiddish-language writer, best known as a playwright. At a time when Eastern Europe was only beginning to experience the industrial revolution, Pinski was the first to introduce a play about urban Jewish workers. His work has stronger connections to German language literary traditions than Russian.

'Oh, it's a funny sensation, having money in your pocket, I can tell you... Money warms you. If you knew how warm and safe I feel. Like a new creature in a new skin.' In a production commissioned by the Finborough Theatre, a unique opportunity to see a classic of Yiddish theatre for the first time in the UK - Treasure by David Pinski. Tille is the poor gravedigger's daughter, with nothing in the world except a head full of dreams. Things look set to stay that way, until the day her brother returns from the graveyard with a pile of gold coins, and Tille is faced with a choice. She can hand in the money and go back to a life of drudgery, or she can use it to turn the world upside down. As the village community disintegrates into chaos and descends on the cemetery in search of gold, Tille and her family must use all their wits to stay one step ahead of those who want their share of the treasure. A timeless fable that digs down into the depths of our folly and greed and, in the midst of the chaos, celebrates one woman's ingenuity. Treasure, or Der Oytser, is a comic masterpiece of Yiddish theatre. Written in 1906 and first performed in 1912, it remained popular in the Yiddish repertoire until the 1940s: most notably, Max Reinhardt's production in Germany in 1919, an English-language version on Broadway in 1920, as well as a production staged in the Vilna Ghetto in 1943.
