A new take on an old legend In 16th century Prague, Rabbi Loew created a man of clay (a Golem) to protect the Jewish people, but he is not the lumbering monster everyone, including the Rabbi, expects. Our play examined not only the golem legend, but also a number of other old Jewish legends of the supernatural. The play was both a ghost story and a love story, set in the domestic atmosphere of the Rabbi's house. I traveled to Prague to learn more about the Golem as part of my research. While there, I studied black light puppetry which is prominent in Prague. The author and myself reconcieved the script to use many of these black light techniques which helped create a more mystical feel for the production. We also rigged our set so that chairs, tables and windows could move on their own. This, combined with the look of the black light which allowed candlesticks and books to float, as well as spirits to materialize was incredibly effective.
