THE DYBBUK, winner of the 2025 Outstanding Production Elliot Norton Award, returns to Boston for limited encore performances following it's sold out, critically acclaimed run in 2024. This ancient, fantastical, mystical Yiddish folktale, is a story of love, family, displacement, and the restless Jewish soul. This timely play is steeped in folklore and cultural tradition, reimagined in this contemporary new production by Ukrainian-born, Jewish director Igor Golyak, is set in the heart of the historic sanctuary of The Vilna Shul, Boston’s Center for Jewish Culture on Beacon Hill.

The Dybbuk stars Andrey Burkovskiy as The Dybbuk and Yana Gladkih as Leah, two tragic young lovers hovering between the worlds of the living and the beyond. The cast features the Arlekin Resident Company, with guest artists Deborah Martin as Frade and Robert Walsh as Sender.

"A wondrous adaptation gets a site-specific reworking at the hands of the Arlekin Players, the consistently inventive local theater group of immigrants from the former Soviet Union. At its heart, “The Dybbuk” is a forbidden love story as old as civilization. “I smash all barriers,” Khonen bellows more than once. As does this impressive production." - The Boston Globe
