Imagine This
''Imagine This'' is a musical with music by Shuki Levy, lyrics by David Goldsmith and a book by Glenn Berenbeim. Set in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II, it focuses on a family of actors trying to stage a play about the siege at ancient Masada to inspire hope and optimism within the Jewish community.〔("Imagine Posts Early Notices at New London" ), whatsonstage.com, 8 December 2008〕
"Professor David Roskies of the Jewish Theological Seminary has written that a little known poem, Masada, by Isaac Lamdan 'more than any other text inspired the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto'".
==Background==
Israeli composer Levy had long nurtured an interest in writing a show about the siege at Masada around 70 CE. He took the music that he had written for the subject to television writer Berenbeim, who resisted the idea, particularly the mass suicide ending of the historical story. But then he decided that the story could work as a play-within-a-play about actors in the Warsaw Ghetto. He told ''The Times'', "I was suddenly interested in the story for its metaphorical value, not its robes and sandals."〔Dessau, Bruce. ("Imagine This: a musical about Nazis", ) ''The Times'', October 25, 2008〕 Goldsmith joined the team, relishing the chance to write for the serious story.〔
