Current Season - Winnipeg Jewish Theatre - A Small but Mighty Theatre!

2006-2007

Golda's Balcony
William Gibson
Directed by Mariam Bernstein
Featuring Liza Balkan as Golda Meir
October 26 - November 5, 2006 Berney Theatre

For years she was the voice of Israel. From the writer of The Miracle Worker, Golda's Balcony takes you deep into the world of Jewish icon Golda Meir; the thrill of Israeli independence, the backroom politics, the romantic liaisons, and her horrifying dilemma where millions of livbes hung in the balance. WJT is thrilled to bring you this fierce, uncompromising look at the public and private Golda: one woman's passion for a cause, and the onerous responsibility of defending it.

Reviews and photographs

Brooklyn, 1938. The horrors of Kristallnacht have just reached America, and Sylvia Gellburg finds herself inexplicably paralyzed - in more ways than one. Obsessed with the plight of European Jews, trapped in a dying marriage, and drawn to the man driven to cure her, Slyvia struggles to find her voice, her freedom, and the will to walk again. One of master playwright Arthur Miller's final plays. Broken Glass is a searing drama where emotional, sexual, and political impotence collide.
