	All About Jewish Theatre - Joshua Sobol : Playwriting for the future
		Joshua Sobol’s long career as a playwright, and his engagement especially with the Palestinian/Israeli population, living inside Israel’s borders and, nominally at least, equal citizens with Jewish Israelis, is an affirmation of his freedom as a theatre-maker, his allegiance as a Jew and his rights and duties as a Israeli citizen.
		Sobol’s play at the National Theatre was heart-breaking, counter-pointing plaintive Yiddish songs about love and the changing seasons, comic patter and the militancy of the Vilna Partisans’ marching song.
		Sobol sharpened his revisionist history by intermingling costumes and situations of the present day with historical figures – just as Howard Brenton did by interplaying Roman centurions and their Anglo- Saxon victims with present-day British soldiers in Northern Ireland in his The Romans in Britain at our National Theatre in 1980.

		Sobol relates that when he wrote "Eye Witness" he wasn't there yet: At the time, he himself did not believe so firmly in refusal to serve.

	Ghetto by Sobol 1984 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Written by the Israeli playwright Joshua Sobol, Ghetto was inspired by an actual historical theatre which operated in the Jewish ghetto from 1941 until 1943.
		Playwright Joshua Sobol noted while reading through the diaries of survivors and those who perished, "one is overawed by the burst of vitality.
		Without it, there is no accounting for the ability of the defenseless survivors to cling dauntlessly to life, to retain their joy of life in the face of armed tormentors and murderers." Sobol has recreated this vitality in his work Ghetto, filled with the song, dance and drama of the Ghetto theatre.

		To Joshua Sobol, Israel’s foremost playwright and a former paratrooper, the situation was agonizing.
		Sobol declines a suggestion that he painted an intellectual patina on a simple man. Although no transcript of Franz’s trial has been found, Sobol has read his letters to his wife and was moved and impressed.
		Sobol is also an unsparing social critic of his country and his people, and to label him “controversial” is a gross understatement.

		He deals with their arguments with a logic that is rooted in religious-Christian faith by saying that he is an eyewitness to the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime, as well as an eyewitness to their refusal to see the atrocities.

		When Israeli playwright Joshua Sobol watched some of his compatriots in the military refuse to serve in what they considered occupied Palestine, he was reminded of the story of an all-but-forgotten Austrian named Franz Jägerstätter.
		Director Barry Edelstein, who adapted the play from Sobol's literal translation from Hebrew to English, tries his best to infuse emotional power into the production by pushing his cast to the edge of melodrama, and by incorporating bleak lighting and a despairing set.
		Thanks to Sobol, Franz Jägerstätter can be remembered by a new generation as a man who refused to take part in an unjust war, and who paid with his life.

		Added Sobol, "She was attracted by Jewish intellectualism, and though she boasted of receiving the ‘pure Aryan seed’ of a Gropius, after a while she seemed to find her gentile lovers boring."

	Village, a CurtainUp review
		Joshua Sobol's Village, the opening theater work of Lincoln Center Festival 98, is a memory play with a difference.
		Because the men and women of Village live in the mind of an ageless naif whom Sobol refers to as a Candide-figure, they are flattened to a single dimension.
		Sobol, whose play Ghetto was seen at the Circle in the Square in 1989, apparently was trying to write a kind of elegy for a lost time.

		Joshua Sobol's ``iWitness,'' at the Mark Taper Forum through May 21, recounts the sad tale of Franz Jagerstatter, an Austrian farmer executed by the Nazis for refusing to don a Wehrmacht uniform.
		Sobol, the prolific Israeli playwright, is best known for his much mounted and acclaimed play ``Ghetto,'' which chronicles a Jewish theater troupe in Vilnius immediately before its Nazi liquidation.
		But it's not enough to mitigate the sense that Sobol, and especially director Barry Edelstein, who adapted the play, are using Jagerstatter to comment not so obliquely on a wartime leader considerably more current than Hitler.

		All of the arguments that Jochmann puts forth are material (of "Caeser" so to speak) and reflect a desire to not rock the boat.
		And while using the Nazi's as the backdrop for all that is evil in the world is a bit cheap, it makes a lot more dramatic sense when you know that this play was not written for the United States, but for Israelis currently engaged in a struggle with most of the Arab world.
		Sobol has spoken in support of Israeli pilots who refuse to bomb targets in Palestine and the territories.

		Sobol’s play written almost a quarter of a century ago was positive, despite its abstract character, one-sidedness and subjective approach to the Ghetto Theatre.
		This is what Sobol says: “The real human problem arises not when you have to choose morality or immorality, but when you have to choose from two immoral options.
		Thus, I do not belong to those who look scrupulously for the truth of facts; a work of art is impossible without fantasy, if, of course, it helps the artistic whole and the concept of the work of art.

		Sobol’s play was written in Hebrew and in the trickier tongue of political metaphor; director Barry Edelstein capably translates both languages at the Mark Taper Forum, though with mixed results.
		Perhaps the ultimate problem is that Sobol’s martyr becomes a statue instead of a flesh-and-blood character.
		Perhaps Sobol and Hickman should switch their presentations by making Jägerstätter’s final days a series of burlesque skits and McNamara’s ordeal a tone poem of regret.

		Another of Israeli playwright Joshua Sobol's plays, a musical called The Jerusalem Question, got him fired from his job as artistic director at Haifa's Municipal Theatre.
		But it's to Sobol's credit that his characters aren't all sweet and martyrish victims.
		While Sobol's characters discuss what type of resistance to oppressors is best, or how the ghetto creates twisted financial opportunities for businessmen, or how power is seized upon and abused by victims, the play's themes start to dovetail and echo the boggling proportions of the Holocaust itself.
