Anyone know anything about Tony Kushner's adaptation of "The Dybbuk?"

the what? lol, sorry, I've never heard of it, sorry.

The Dybbuk is one of the great stories of Jewish folklore, but in a nutshell, it's about a spirit enterting the body and controlling the actions of that individual. There have been many adaptations of the story, including several on and Off-Broadway.

I missed Kushner's version when it played at the Public back in the 90's, but I've read it and know the text is still available. I know that the original was a favorite on the Yiddish Theatre circuit and was performed dozens of times through the years.
