Purple Purim

A brand-new Purim spiel, with a dash of purple.

« H-Pop Haman Hunters », inspired by the Book of Esther, retells the story of the Jewish queen of Persia as if she were a queen of pop. In a world of singing competitions and hideous demons, how will Esther and Mordechai save her people and herself from the evil Haman? With lyrical parodies of songs from Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters, enjoy « what it sounds like » with a good-enough-to-drink purple grape tonic Purim.

Script available for free (while donations are encouraged). Chag Sameach!

Free Purim Spiels

A Purim spiel or Purim play is usually a comic dramatization of the Book of Esther, the central text and narrative that describes what transpired on Purim and why it is celebrated as an important Jewish holiday. Jews have long gathered on Purim to tell the story of the Book of Esther in performance. Recently, it has been more and more common to tell the story by parodying well-known music.

In 2024, Purim celebrations begin at sundown on March 23 and end at nightfall on March 24.
