A Special Thank You...

...to Yvette Mottier, production assistant, for translating the songs and dialogues, for historical research and practical advice, for countless letters and corrections, for publicity and for the groundwork.  Without her help, the performances would not have been possible!

...to my husband, Robert Hairgrove, for the many hours sitting at the computer, designing the website, making demo CDs, for various translations and proof-reading, and for his wise advice and patience.

Last but not least...

...to David Beck, who first suggested to me the idea of writing the musical “Judah Judah”.
