Laugh with Us/The Smoke of Home - T01416970576Divided into two acts, this staging opens with Laugh With Us, which sees UCL students perform extracts of songs and scenes from a full length cabaret of the same name alongside a selection of other comic works. Comedy and cabaret, which constitutes a surprising number of the works discovered, reveals how theatrical techniques were used to ?normalize' conditions of the ghetto, attempting to make its structures appear less threatening to those imprisoned there. The second act The Smoke of Home, performed by University of York students, is a one-act historical allegory, set in the Thirty Years' War, that confronts the question: if we survive, will we be able to return to the home we knew? Dr. Peschel and Professor Michael Berkowitz, Professor of Modern Jewish History AT UCL, will introduce the performances. Running time: 2hrs. Suitable for ages 12+.Presented byUCL.
