	Hanoch Levin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hanoch Levin (December 18, 1943 - August 18, 1999; Hebrew חנוך לוין), was one of the most prominent and prolific Israeli dramatists.
		Though Levin also directed plays and wrote poetry and fiction, he is best known for his contributions as a playwright: from the controversial comedy sketches and biting social satires of his early career, to the lyrical, nihilistic, absurdist plays of his later life.
		Levin married twice, to Naava Koresh and to Edna Koren.

		Hanoch Levin was born in Tel Aviv on 18 December 1943 and died of cancer on 18 August 1999.
		Levin grew into adulthood in Israel of the sixties, in a society characterized by acute divisions between Israeli “sabras” and new immigrants, rich and poor, Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews, and Jews and Arabs.
		Levin’s fame (in the view of only a few at the time) came in the wake of the public outcry raised by The Queen of the Bathtub that was produced by the Cameri Theatre in April 1970 and directed by David Levin.

	All About Jewish Theatre - Hanoch Levin. Five years and still dead
		The Cameri Theater, which for a significant part of Levin's artistic life was his home port, has established an institute for Israeli playwriting that bears his name (thanks to which the text of the play is printed in some of the programs for plays that are performed at the various theaters today).
		The problem of Levin's existence (or rather the lack of it) on theater stages has a lot to do with the fact that he is a poet, an Israeli playwright and a universal artist.
		Levin competes for the universality niche with the greatest of classics - the Greek playwrights, Shakespeare and of course Samuel Beckett.

		Levin employs three specific parts taken from three Chekhov stories, but this is not adaptation of dramatization: it is a matter of identification.

		I suspect Levin was a keen student of both Euripides and Shakespeare.
		Like the Palestinian Al-Kasaba Theatre, which came to London earlier this year, Levin also yearns for an end to a situation where the abnormal is regarded as normal: "Give us a night of boredom, real Swiss boredom," one of his characters fervently cries.
		Murder is both a valuable introduction to Hanoch Levin, and a fitting climax to the Gate's season on madness.

	Israeli playwright questions the successes of armed conflict when loss and revenge have become a way of life in 'Murder'
		Hanoch Levin was one of Israel's most gifted -- and controversial -- playwrights.
		It's even hard to spot a specific reference to "Israel" or "Palestine" in "Murder," which may be one of Levin's (and Walker's) points: The cycle of violence we see could happen to any group that gives in to a desire for blood and revenge.
		In criticizing Meir and her ministers with "The Queen of the Bathtub," Levin featured such characters as "Lord Keeper of the Enema." When that play was staged in Tel Aviv in 1970, demonstrators protested every night.

		The 60-minute allegory joins three related scenes and an epilogue, spread out over 10 years, in a widening pattern of dehumanizing rage that shocks as much by its ordinariness as by its wanton force.
		And Levin, equally in debt to Brecht and Beckett, suffuses it all with a poetic sensibility and dark but buoyant humor that makes unusually palpable both the tragedy and absurdity of a life where murder is normal, where war and hatred engender a cycle of violence with a murderous life of its own.
		Written not long before the second intifada, Murder proved just as prescient as Levin's first work, You and Me and the Next War (1968), a satirical cabaret performed in the aftermath of the Six-Day War, which began Israel's ongoing military occupation of Palestinian land.

		While the play is not as explicitly political as Levin's other plays (Murder or The Whore from Ohio), the play contains numerous controversial ideas about anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, the existence and meaning of Israel, and more, all lightly embedded in the biblical anecdote.
		Playwright Hanoch Levin was one of the most prominent and prolific Israeli dramatists, known as "the bad boy of the modern Israeli stage." His plays have recently had a second life in Paris, notably at the prestigious Théâtre de la Colline, and now New York has discovered him.

	TIME.com: Duty in Occupied Albania -- Nov. 8, 1982 -- Page 1
		A satirical revue entitled The Patriot, by the well-known Israeli playwright Hanoch Levin, opened in Tel Aviv last week and quickly became the center of a national controversy.
		Israeli audiences loved it, but the revue was banned by the government's censorship board as offensive to "the basic values of the nation, the state and Judaism." In the past, Israeli censors have occasionally outlawed Arabic-language plays, but they have never taken such action against a Hebrew-language production.
		As the independent newspaper Ha'aretz observed, "You don't have to love Levin's play or agree with his opinions to defend his right to say whatever he likes." At midweek in a preliminary vote, the Israeli Knesset expressed its support of a bill that would abolish all censorship of films and plays.
