Nathan Rashumsky, a revered star of Yiddish theatre, clings to his matinee-idol past even as age and changing tastes catch up with him. Surrounded by a cast of admirers, rivals, and would-be protégés, he reinvents timeless tales with flamboyant musical pastiche. As backstage politics, nostalgia, and mortality swirl, Rashumsky grapples with whether he can sustain his legend—or find meaning beyond the footlights.
