The world of theatre, like the world of law and the world of psychology, deals with the human soul. These are fascinating worlds, which are often found in internal contradictions. They teach us that we must not only see what is presented superficially in front of our faces, but also look inward and thus see ourselves as well. This book deals with six plays, originally written in Yiddish, but translated into many different languages, which have been staged with great success around the world, thus showing the universal power of the text. It examines these texts for the first time from a legal and psychoanalytical perspective, which sheds new light on the theatrical work as well as the conflicts between the characters.
