Their passion for Eastern European and Gypsy music coupled with Nadya's love of Bashevis Singer’s lyrical text brings a very special musical drama to RN, featuring a magnificent local cast. This radio adaptation of Bashevis Singer's The Magician of Lublin, was devised and written by the Australian singer/animateur, Nadya Golski and musical director Mirsad Giga Jeleskovic. Some of his best known biographical works include In My Father’s Court and A Little Boy in Search of God. He wrote 18 novels including Yentl and The Magician of Lublin, short stories, fiction for children and some biographical works. Singer wrote only in Yiddish even after his move to America and was prolific as a novelist.
Prior to the Second World War, he moved to the United States like many other Polish Jews, to New York City.
Isaac Bashevis Singer was a Polish-Jewish writer who was born in 1902. Will he really move to Italy and convert to Catholicism? He feels the need to escape: not just his wife, but his homeland and his Jewish faith. And although he has lived this way for years, his exploits are catching up with him. He has an observant Jewish wife, a Gentile assistant (who travels with him) and a mistress in every town. Having both Jewish and Gentile heritage Yasha is a freethinker who moves with ease between the worlds from which he comes. In his own mind, he believes that he should be famous throughout the world. Yasha is a Houdini-like performer whose skills have made him famous throughout Eastern Poland. The Magician of Lublin is the entertaining story of Yasha Mazur, by Isaac Bashevis Singer.
