How did the Dublin Jewish Dramatic Society’s productions serve as a means of expression for the Irish Jewish community’s experiences and concerns?
And how, if at all, did those concerns change during the company’s lifetime?
The company’s performances coincide with important events, which occurred within Ireland and internationally and which shaped both Irish history and Jewish history. In effect, then, the project seeks to consider the importance of tradition, transition, and transformation to the Dublin Jewish Dramatic Society’s productions in their historical contexts.
