Suzanne Levy’s Dress British Think Yiddish

The Santa Monica Playhouse Benefit Series is proud to present two nights only of Suzanne Levy’s Dress British Think Yiddish. Bangers and mash at school lunch, chopped liver with gribenes at home; morris dancing with jingling bells, the kazatzkah at family weddings; politely murmuring “biscuit anyone?” at work as a BBC producer, kvetching about cold kneidlach at Friday night family dinners. Writer/performer Suzanne Levy juggles the tsuris and joy of sparring identities in this funny, poignant solo play about growing up Jewish in the UK.

The title Dress British Think Yiddish comes from a slogan that was printed on buttons in the 1960’s.

Two shows only to support the Santa Monica Playhouse Benefit Series. Santa Monica Playhouse is supported in part by the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, the Ahmanson Foundation, the Rotary Club Foundation and Playhouse PALS.
