Pandemic in Persia: The Zoom Spiel

Pandemic in Persia:
The Zoom Spiel

Pandemic in Persia: The Zoom Spiel tells the story of Purim in a wacky and funny style, fit to our modern experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. All of the action takes place on the royal Zoom account, as a plague ravages the kingdom of Persia. It’s the familiar tale of King Achashverosh, Esther, Mordechai, and Haman — just in quarantine.

Testimonials

It was fantastic. Even little mistakes like an actor muting themselves made it even funnier. The congregation loved it and I already got a bunch of “thank you notes”.
