Plastic and scaffolding are in the center of the long rectangular room, with the sound of water dripping. The house manager announces that the show will be one hour and fifty minutes without an intermission. My friend and I look at each other; the dismay and fear on her face mirrors my own. Little did we know that one hour and fifty minutes later, we wouldn\u2019t want \u201cThe Dybbuk\u201d to end. It\u2019s a stunning, spiritual production where the worlds of the living and the dead are never far from one another. While this is a world premiere, coincidentally, Ansky\u2019s original version was performed in Yiddish by the Vilna Troupe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatermirror.net\/?p=7595\">https:\/\/www.theatermirror.net\/?p=7595<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From beginning to end,  this production is marvelous.
