Yiddish Theater Exhibit, MCNY

Yiddish Theater Exhibit, MCNY 

Those in the Yiddish theater had no fear.

they even presented Wm. Shakespeare,

not in an intellectual desert

but  "fartaytch un farbessert"

Did they change HAM-let a lot,

  revising  both title and plot,

with perhaps no need to use poisoned wine as a device--

since an extra - heavy dose of Jewish cooking might suffice?
