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.

"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." Goldsmith joined the team, relishing the chance to write for the serious story.

Imagine This

by: Ice Station Zero

You say to me...when I grow up I'll be stronger
when I grow old I'll be wiser
when I get pushed down I get back up
I'm such a brat I don't know when to
shut the fuck up
Imagine this, imagine that'
Could you see it any other way?
You say to me...there will soon come a day when
you'll be gone
I've to have the heart to
carry on
always learn from every mistake
keep on working, you'll get a
break....one day?
Is this the way it's gonna be
or is this your way of assuring me
that there will come a day when I'll be alone
with you
and everything will be all right
