Detailed
Description		    David Hermann (1876–1937) was a director with a kabalistic and Hasidic background and a producer of Yiddish plays. Born in Warsaw, Herman was a member of the circle of young devotees of the Yiddish writer, Isaac Leib Peretz. He chose a Peretz play for the opening production of his first dramatic group in his native Warsaw in 1903, and continued to stage and arrange readings of the author's works, including Bay Nakht oyfn Alten Mark (The Old Market at Night) and Di Goldene Keyt (The Golden Chain). He also produced plays by Shalom Aleichem, David Pinski, and S. An-Ski. In 1908 he presented in Vienna two of Pinski's plays, Family Zevi and Isaac Sheftel, in German. On his return to Poland, where the Russian ban on Yiddish theater had just been lifted, Herman worked with the Peretz Hirschbein troupe, and ran a dramatic school in Warsaw, first with Peretz and later with Michael Weichert. He was also director of the Vilna Troupe, for which he staged the first production of An-Ski's The Dybbuk (1920), which proved an international success.
