East Productions presents

Biblical Tales

Throughout 2011

Creator: Steven Berkoff

Middle to large scale

Steven Berkoff lends his formidable directorial and writing talents to four boundary-pushing interpretations of cherished biblical stories.

Berkoff examines the violence and vengeance of the Old Testament through the lens of his own Jewish faith. Whether it's arguments about shopping malls in the Garden of Eden or more familiar tales of plagues and locusts, Adam & Eve, Samson & Delilah, David & Goliath and Moses & Pharoah are presented in altogether modern guises - sometimes comic, sometimes political, always unmistakenly Berkoff.

"Praise be to Steven Berkoff... for punching through the waffle to get at the raw power that has echoed down the centuries" Camden New Journal

"Written in his own verbose brand of East End street poetry with some welcome flashes of wit" The Daily Telegraph

"Berkoff, in his seventies, has lost none of his anti-authoritarian Hackney jauntiness" The Guardian
