In Dreams and Gimpel

In Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Gimpel the Fool, a simple man endures trickery, treachery, and cruelty at the hands of the townspeople in his small Polish village. The story testifies to one man’s belief in the goodness of God and
His Universe. The show is performed in a translation by Saul Bellow from the original Yiddish.
Delmore Schwartz’s In Dreams Begin Responsibilities is a young man’s dream of his parent’s courtship in turn-of-the-century Coney Island.
