Put on your Sunday best

Get The Matzoh Ball Rolling

By Hannah Colless, 21 June 2011

Rather than schlumping around this Sunday, nursing your hangover and feeling sorry for yourself, why not schlep your tush down to Malthouse Theatre for 'Matzoh Balls'-this month's edition of Things on Sunday.

Things on Sunday is a series that addresses a range of cultural concerns in contemporary Australian society. It's a concoction of commentary, conversation, philosophy, artistic memoirs, concerts, and, no-doubt, a heated debate or two. 'Matzoh Balls' will be an intimate and entertaining afternoon that celebrates and commemorates Jewish culture in our society.

Libbi Gore will host a predominantly female line-up this Sunday, namely Lally Katz, whose play, A Gollum Story, premiered at Malthouse Theatre on June 15, Elisa Gray and Deborah Leiser-Moore, as well as John Safran, acting as the token male of the event. There will be wine, music, plenty of schmoozing and more Yiddish humour than a Marx Bros film.

And don't kvetsh if you're a goy (non-Jew, that is) because everyone's welcome, whether Jewish, Gentile, or otherwise.
