By Julianne Bernstien. Cast: 1 m., an artist and the golden calf. This short play is part of the unique collection of 10 short plays (Voices from Ariel) that were commissioned and produced by Theatre Ariel, one of the country's leading theater companies dedicated to Jewish culture through the medium of new plays. Some plays are about contemporary Jewish life, others are about Jewish women, while the rest are based on stories and characters from the Old Testament, giving them a theatrical and very modern up-to-date twist.
This story is a very clever Midrash biblical interpretation: a talking golden calf takes this Golden Opportunity to speak out on worshiping idols. Simple set.
