The troupe will also present Jacob Godrin’s “Mirele Efros” and an adaptation of Sholem Aleichem’s “Tevye der Milichige.”
After the premiere, the company was honored at a reception given by the British Section of the World Jewish Congress. Present at the reception were leaders of the British Jewish community, Polish diplomats and Israel Ambassador Eliahu Elath.
