- Sue Zizza
Set in the Passover season, "The Witches of Lublin," is directed by internationally acclaimed and award-winning Sue Zizza, with script by Ellen Kushner, Elizabeth Schwartz and Yale Strom.
Featuring haunting vocals and an original high energy klezmer score by Yale Strom, "The Witches of Lublin," offers a glimpse into the lost Jewish women's lives of Eastern Europe.
With a story as ancient as myth, and as modern as every family that struggles to hold its center in a world of strife and conflicting loyalties, it's the perfect Spring holiday programming.

Almost made it.
The musicians know their business and it is very pleasant to hear. However the acting was so hackneyed and the story so obvious that only the most devoted Passover addict could endure it. I thought of listening just to hear them play more, but no.
