The Story of Esther

 MUSICAL

Book, music and lyrics by Victor Eydus

The story takes place in the 1970s in Russia. A group of amateur actors decides to recreate the biblical Book of Esther, while the Soviet authorities consider it political provocation and do everything possible to prevent the performance. As the ancient story unfolds, the main character, like her Persian twin, discovers her Jewish identity and the link to her people.

The life in Leningrad turns out more cruelly than in fairytale Shushan, though...

Libretto by Ilana Eydus and Victor Eydus

Set in a fictitious town in sunny California, Solo on Sax is about teenagers today. These kids believe Arnold Schwarzenegger, invest in the stock market, enjoy life, and don’t want to work. With a lot of subtle humor, this show is easy to produce and fun to perform.
