Here's something for people in the Basel area: Gebirtig, a "fairy tale with music," by Joshua Sobol, based on the poetry of Mordechai Gebirtig. This production premieres in Weil am Rhein on September 20, with music by the wondrous Baith Jaffe Klezmer Orchestra (featuring Andreas Wäldele, my excellent but unfortunately erstwhile mandolin teacher—I simply don't have time to practice enough!).
