It has long been a tradition to re-tell the Purim story of Megillat Esther in a shpiel - a playlet. After a break for some food and celebration a bunch of gifted amateurs take to the stage and re-enact this special story. Often these are set to some iconic cultural reference point past, present and future.

I’ve been writing these for many years covering many themes and performing them with a variety of people. I've turned two of those into script books and they are available for you to download directly here. by clicking on the image or button.

Whether you are planning your own elaborate production or a small rendition or just reading this for fun, I hope you enjoy them. If you do stage a Purim shpiel based on these, I'd love to see the photos. If you have any comments or spot any errors or typos, please let me know, so I can update for future shpielers.
