Still, it was only when I walked into La Mama on Monday to see a matinee production by the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/newyiddishrep.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">New Yiddish Rep<\/a>&nbsp;that I realized I had never seen a full production of the play, which is to say, I had never really seen the play at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As every theatre scholar (along with anyone who has ever slogged through reading Shakespeare or Chekhov in high school English class) knows all too well, reading plays is a poor substitute for seeing productions. Plays take on a different shape when they are performed well; they grow deeper and more complex, they linger on moments that shock and delight, they cause audience members to gasp and wonder and emote and feel chills running down your spine, they transport you to another world. All of this was on full display in the New Yiddish Rep\u2019s rich, evocative, and utterly riveting production.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/121219.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/121219.webp 600w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/121219-300x231.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shayna Schmidt plays Rifkele and Melissa Weisz plays Manke in New Yiddish Rep\u2019s production of Sholem Asch\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Got fun nekome<\/em>, directed by Eleanor Reissa, at La MaMa.<br>(\u00a9 Ronald L. Glassman)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>First, a word of context.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yivoencyclopedia.org\/article.aspx\/Asch_Sholem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sholem Asch<\/a>&nbsp;(1880-1957) was a prominent Yiddish novelist, playwright, and essayist; Got fun nekome was both his most famous and his most controversial play. In Asch\u2019s play, brothel owner Yankl Tshaptshovitsh (played with terrifying paternal authority by&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/forward.com\/culture\/127246\/the-new-face-of-yiddish-theater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shane Baker<\/a>) and his former prostitute wife Soreh (director and actor&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eleanorreissa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eleanor Reissa<\/a>) try, and fail, to protect their teenage daughter Rifkele (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shaynaschmidt.com\/production\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shayna Schmidt<\/a>, in a stunning Yiddish debut) from being tainted by their business. Though they live just above the brothel, they do not permit Rifkele to venture downstairs or make friends with anyone in their social environment, which thoroughly isolates Rifkele in a friendless world. Yankl and Sarah commission a Torah scroll for Rifkele, which they plan to keep in her bedroom to ward off evil until she is married to a \u201crespectable\u201d Jewish boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course, Rifkele is drawn to the world downstairs, and in particular, to the prostitutes who live in the cellar below. They are her only friends in an unforgiving house where her every move is controlled by the iron fist of her father, who seeks respectability for his daughter \u2013 at any cost. Rifkele falls for one of the prostitutes, Manke (the captivating&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.melissaweisz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Melissa Weisz<\/a>), with explosive consequences for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/90.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/90.webp 600w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/562\/2023\/05\/90-300x169.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shayna Schmidt and Melissa Weisz in&nbsp;<em>Got fun nekome<\/em>&nbsp;at La Mama.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The New Yiddish Rep\u2019s production is no period play. The play itself feels remarkably modern, even 110 years later, and the New Yiddish Rep has given&nbsp;<em>Got fun nekome<\/em>&nbsp;a production to match. The costumes are contemporary and underscore the religious and moral fault lines of the play: Yankl and Soreh, the former pimp-and-prostitute-turned-devout-parents, are dressed in demure, modern Orthodox garb. Indeed, Soreh\u2019s wig, and the hurried business of putting it on when \u201crespectable people\u201d are coming to visit, plays a prominent role in the stage business. The pimp, Shloyme (Luzer Twersky), dons an ill-fitting suit and hat. The prostitutes wear short skirts, high heels, and glittery outfits that would fit right in on, say, New Year\u2019s Eve in contemporary New York. Rifkele\u2019s attire spans the two worlds. When still under her parents\u2019 control, she wears a modest schoolgirl\u2019s plaid jumper, her hair in twin braids. Later, when she changes into leggings and boots, under Manke\u2019s influence, her parents implore her to \u201cput on a dress\u201d again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The set is also striking. In the intimate space of this ninety-person theatre, it\u2019s almost as though the audience is living in the house along with Yankl, Soreh, and Rifkele. English supertitles (the entire show is in Yiddish) are projected onto a roof-shaped triangle at the top of the set \u2013 a clever touch that accentuates the domestic nature of the space and invites the audience to consider the supertitles as part of the house itself, rather than a digital intrusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is remarkably strong. Shayna Schmidt as Rifkele is particularly captivating in a skillful and nuanced portrayal of a girl forced to choose between two unforgiving worlds. When Schmidt is onstage, there is no looking away. Eleanor Reissa as Soreh is similarly riveting. In her portrayal, the relationship between Rifkele and her mother becomes just as significant \u2013 if not more so \u2013 as the relationship between Rifkele and Manke. Melissa Weisz\u2019s Manke brings heat and verve to the steamy scenes with Rifkele. Also deserving of special mention are the effervescent&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.caraidobrien.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caraid O\u2019Brien<\/a>&nbsp;as Hindl,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadwayworld.com\/people\/Rachel-Botchan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rachel Botchan<\/a>&nbsp;as Reyzl, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.backstage.com\/u\/mirakessler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mira Kessler<\/a>&nbsp;as Basya, each of whom imbued the roles of the prostitutes with a depth I had not encountered in reading and re-reading the play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The New Yiddish Rep\u2019s production of&nbsp;<em>Got fun nekome<\/em>&nbsp;is timely. Award-winning playwright Paula Vogel\u2019s ode to the play,&nbsp;<em><a href=\"http:\/\/indecentbroadway.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indecent<\/a><\/em>, is scheduled to open on Broadway this April after a critically-acclaimed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.uwm.edu\/yiddish-stage\/interview-indecent-playwright-paula-vogel-and-director-rebecca-taichman\">Off-Broadway run<\/a>. But this production is no mere prelude to Vogel\u2019s production. It is, like&nbsp;<em>Indecent<\/em>, a major triumph for the contemporary Yiddish stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Got fun nekome<\/em>&nbsp;is adroitly directed by Eleanor Reissa, who imbues the scenes with such vigor and intensity that you scarcely notice that ninety minutes have gone by without intermission. The action bounds and hurtles forward and carries us along with it, to a devastating ending that you won\u2019t soon forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Got fun nekome<\/em>&nbsp;runs through January 22nd at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/lamama.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LaMama Experimental Theater<\/a>&nbsp;(74A E. 4th Street, New York).
