BASHERT

by Alicia Louzoun-Heisler

When rumors circulate within her tight-knit Haredi Jewish community, Leora fears she’ll receive “the bottom of the barrel” for potential marriage matches. In this Jane Austen-inspired Comedy, Leora is determined to prove that she'd make a great wife, but past indiscretions and old habits keep getting in the way.

    The community of National Committee readers for the 46th Bay Area Playwrights Festival advanced BASHERT as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation. We highly enjoyed the unique, strong voice of the writer in balancing the complexity of queerness and rules of Jewish orthodoxy. We were engaged by the pacing of the play and the love and compassion point of view all the characters are written from. We hope this play is considered for further development and investigation, and finds dedicated collaborators in this play’s journey towards production. #BAPF46
