“Prepare to be astonished by the beauty and greatness of Yentl” – The Age
Following a 5-star, sold-out triumph at the Sydney Opera House, Kadimah Yiddish Theatre’s acclaimed production of YENTL transfers to London’s Marylebone Theatre for a strictly limited six-week engagement.
This thrilling new bilingual staging reimagines Isaac Bashevis Singer’s revolutionary tale with urgency, intimacy and a vibrant celebration of Yiddish culture. When a young woman dares to defy Orthodox law by disguising herself as a man to study Jewish scripture, she steps into a world alive with possibility and conflict. As Yentl’s search for knowledge deepens, faith, gender, desire and tradition collide—propelling her toward a destiny that challenges every boundary.
Bold, lyrical and unapologetically contemporary, YENTL is a powerful story of courage, identity and the fight to live your truth.
