The new theater season opened in Israel last night. Habimah started the season with two performances of “Caligula,” by Albert “Caligula,” singed by Etienne Debol, and “The Gipsies,” an original play written and staged by Nissim Aloni and starring Hannah Rovina and other leading stage figures. The Camerl Theatre returned with two new productions: “Strindberg Without Tears,” an adaption by Friedrich Duerrenmatt of Strindberg’s “Dance of Death,” staged by Leonard Shach, and “The Authors’ Trial in Moscow,” staged by Gershon Plotkin. The Haifa Theatre opened the season with “The Suicide,” a satire by Nicolai Erdman on the suppression of spiritual life in the Soviet Union, staged by Yosef Milo.
