What we have gained is infinitely more than that small loss: Rudolph Cartier and The Dybbuk
This article recounts the Jewish journey of producer and director Rudolph Cartier, an Austrian refugee from Nazism who forged a new life in Britain from 1935 onwards, playing a pivotal role in the moulding of BBC television’s post-war drama output. It also explores the journey of Jewish cultural texts and traditions as it discusses the production and reception of Cartier’s 1952 English-language adaptation for the small screen of Ansky’s classic play The Dybbuk. The challenges Cartier perceived in completing this production and the responses of both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences reveal much about the limits of assimilation in an increasingly multicultural Britain.

Abstract

This article recounts the Jewish journey of producer and director Rudolph Cartier, an Austrian refugee from Nazism who forged a new life in Britain from 1935 onwards, playing a pivotal role in the moulding of BBC television’s post-war drama output. It also explores the journey of Jewish cultural texts and traditions as it discusses the production and reception of Cartier’s 1952 English-language adaptation for the small screen of Ansky’s classic play The Dybbuk. The challenges Cartier perceived in completing this production and the responses of both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences reveal much about the limits of assimilation in an increasingly multicultural Britain.
