PLAYWRITING
Flint is a wonderfully cunning Charousek, a believably narrow-minded Aaron Wassertrum, and even an impressively demure Miriam Hillel, as well nearly a dozen other uniquely crafted characters. Flint’s well- crafted script deftly explores Pernath’s mysterious journey to find the truth, and you’ll eagerly suspend your disbelief as you devour the spine-tingling story.

A mind-warping, shape-shifting performance...It’s a Freudian stew. It’s a Gothic nightmare. It’s a modern urban cautionary tale. It’s a Halloween fun ride. It’s all of the above. To learn more, you’ll have to walk down the dark alley yourself.

THE GOLEM a dream play
ADAPTED AND PERFORMED BY DANIEL FLINT
FROM THE NOVEL OF GUSTAV MEYRINK
Directed by Joel David Santner
Music by Josh Taylor
The Golem follows the story of Athanasius Pernath, a jeweler in Prague’s Jewish ghetto in the late 19th century who is afflicted with a curious amnesia. When a strange man enters Pernath’s life with a mysterious book, the jeweler begins his descent into a labyrinth of murder, madness, and plots of revenge and unrequited love that eventually bring him face to face with his own dark past and mortality.
Or is Pernath’s journey in reality an ascent? The stranger with the book is the legendary Golem who roamed the streets of the ghetto in the 16th Century. He is also the jeweler’s doppelganger – leading Pernath to a spiritual awakening which must be embraced in order to escape the madness of his past.
This one-man play is based on the legendary 1915 novel by Gustav Meyrink – whose novels revel in the twists and turns of esoteric philosophy’s convergence with the occult and with the landscape of dreams. As performed by a single actor, the characters in The Golem are revealed to be archetypes and “inherent personalities” within the human mind. The work’s powerful symbolism is drawn from Jewish mysticism and the tarot, and these archetypical characters trace a path of spiritual evolution through the roots and branches of the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life.
The Golem is a play that speaks to the desires and difficulties of seeking spiritual truths in the twisted passageways of the human mind. Its vivid images and fantastic plot seek not only to entertain, but to awaken.

PUBLISHED BY STEELE SPRING STAGE RIGHTS
We present something new for holiday entertainment: a comedy with no nutcrackers, no misers, and no elves. But what would Christmas be without…Shakespeare?
In the sly spirit of BlackAdder and Shakespeare in Love, Holiday of Errors is a merry, irreverent send-up that mashes Twelfth Night, Richard III, and A Christmas Carol with historical inaccuracies and slanderous fabrications into an Elizabethan pudding that serves everyone!
