Episode #20 Friends of Yentl with Elise Esther Hearst

Ashamed to Admit

Ahead of YENTL’s run at the Sydney Opera House 17 October - 10 November 2024, Tami and Dash speak to author, playwright & content creator Elise Esther Hearst (who co-wrote the play with director Gary Abrahams and Galit Klas) about the urgency to tell and experience Jewish stories and Yiddish theatre in Australia. They also share some "super gay" talmudic facts.
