Yentl

Venue

Marylebone Theatre

Following a 5-star, sold-out triumph at the Sydney Opera House, Kadimah Yiddish Theatre’s acclaimed production of Yentl transfers to London’s Marylebone Theatre for a strictly limited six-week engagement.

This thrilling new bilingual staging reimagines Isaac Bashevis Singer’s revolutionary tale with urgency, intimacy and a vibrant celebration of Yiddish culture. When a young woman dares to defy Orthodox law by disguising herself as a man to study Jewish scripture, she steps into a world alive with possibility and conflict. As Yentl’s search for knowledge deepens, faith, gender, desire and tradition collide – propelling her toward a destiny that challenges every boundary.

Bold, lyrical and unapologetically contemporary, Yentl is a powerful story of courage, identity and the fight to live your truth.
