EINSTEIN virtually from the day it opened at Toronto Workshop Productions in 1985, starring the late Canadian actor Peter Boretski and directed by Jack Blum, Einstein has been playing in some theatre or country around the world. It has been translated into a dozen languages and has appeared at Israel’s national Habima Theatre (Misha Asharov, director Howard Rypp), in several of the United States starring Chris Brittain, in Mexico where actor Patricio Castillo won an award for Best Actor (director Bruno Schwebel), Chile (starring Nisim Sharim Paz), Brazil (Carlos Palma winning an award for Best Actor), Portugal (Fernando Jorge Lopes) and has enjoyed other productions in Argentina, Spain, India, Pakistan, Dubai and more.

“Mr. Begin”
On July 18, 2013 “Mr. Begin” premiered to an enthusiastic sold out crowd at the Menahem Begin Center in Jerusalem. Starring veteran Israeli actor, Danny Steg, “Mr. Begin” combines a virtuoso theatrical performance with multimedia capturing the spirit of Israel’s 6th Prime Minister. Laced with controversy and sardonic humor, “Mr. Begin” is available in both English and Hebrew. In attendance opening night were Begin’s own daughter, granddaughter and great grandchildren as well as both Begin ‘s longtime secretary and confidante, Yehiel Kadishai and his English speechwriter and biographer, Yehuda Avner.
