A Ground-Breaking New Adaptation

Yentl is a powerful and boundary-breaking story based on Isaac Bashevis Singer’s classic tale, exploring themes of identity, courage and the fight to live authentically.

This award-winning Australian production made its international premiere in London, following acclaimed and sold-out runs including a season at the Sydney Opera House.

A Bold Theatrical Vision

This contemporary staging brought new life to the classic story through a bilingual production celebrating Yiddish culture, combining lyrical storytelling with modern theatrical energy.

It marked the first major new stage adaptation of Yentl since the 1975 Broadway play and Barbra Streisand’s 1983 film.

The London Production

Yentl ran at the Marylebone Theatre in London from 6 March to 12 April 2026, offering audiences a powerful and thought-provoking theatrical experience.

What is Yentl about?

Set in an 1870s Polish shtetl, Yentl follows a young woman whose hunger for knowledge defies the strict boundaries of Orthodox law. Forbidden from studying Jewish scripture, she disguises herself as a man and enters a world where identity, autonomy and desire collide. This electrifying production brings new life to Singer’s visionary tale — a story about truth, courage and the cost of living as one’s authentic self.
