His mother’s family fled the pogroms in Europe in 1922 and his father’s family immigrated from Poland in 1934 to escape the Nazis. [first] Sobol is married to Edna, set and costume designer. They have a daughter, Neta, and a son, Yahli Sobol, a  singer and writer. Sobol studied at the Sorbonne, Paris, and graduated with a diploma in philosophy. Born to a secular Jewish family, he identifies as an atheist. [2]        (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Theatre career [ edit ] Sobol’s first play was performed in 1971 by the Municipal Theatre in Haifa, where Sobol worked from 1984 to 1988 as a playwright and later assistant artistic director. The performance of his play The Jerusalem Syndrome , in January 1988, led to widespread protests, whereupon Sobol resigned from his post as artistic director. In 1983, after the Haifa production of his play Weininger’s Night (The Soul of a Jew), he was invited to participate in the official part of the Edinburgh Festival. Between 1983 and 1989 Sobol wrote three related plays: Ghetto , Adam and Underground , which constitute together The Ghetto triptich. Ghetto premiered in Haifa in May 1984. It won the David’s Harp award for best play.  That year, Peter Zadek’s German version of the play was chosen by Theater today as best production and best foreign play of the year. It has since been translated into more than 20 languages and performed in more than 25 countries. Following Nicholas Hytner’s production of the English-language version by David Lan at the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain in 1989, the play won the Evening Standard and the London Critics award for Best Play of the Year and was nominated for the Olivier Award in the same category. It was coldly received in New York, however. In his review of the play in the New York Times, Frank Rich described it as a “tedious stage treatment of the Holocaust.” [3] Since 1995, Sobol has collaborated with Viennese director Paulus Manker on a number of projects exploring new forms of the theatrical experience. In 1995, The father (The Father)  a work by Niklas Frank and Joshua Sobol commissioned for the Wiener Festwochen (Vienna Festival)  opened at the Theatre an der Wien under the direction of  Paulus Manker. The play is about Niklas Frank’s father, Hans Frank, who was Hitler\u2019s Governor general in Poland and was hanged in Nuremberg in 1946. In 1996, they created Alma For the Wiener Festwochen. Alma is a polydrama based on the life of Alma Mahler-Werfel. It played in Vienna for six successive seasons and toured to Venice, Lisbon, Los Angeles, Berlin, Jerusalem and Prague. In the Vienna production, the scenes of Alma\u2019s life were performed simultaneously on all floors and in all rooms of a former Jugendstil sanatorium near Vienna. The guests were invited to abandon the immobilised position of spectator in a conventional drama, replace it with the mobile activity of traveller , thus partaking in a “theatrical journey”. By choosing the events, the path, and the person to follow after each event, each participant constructed her or his personal version of the “Polydrama”. In 2000, Sobol and Manker created F@LCO \u2013 A CYBER SHOW , a multimedia musical about the Austrian pop singer Falco. Staged in the former Variet\u00e9 theatre Ronacher in Vienna, F@LCO offered the audience a choice between a more expensive, passive ticket for the boxes or the balconies, from which spectators could only watch the show from distance, or a cheap, “active” ticket on the floor, close to the rostrum (in the shape of @, the Internet at symbol) on which the show was performed. This position allowed the active spectator to move around during the show, dance and buy drinks at the bars installed under the catwalks. 1971  THE DAYS TO COME \u2013 Haifa Municipal Theatre 1973 Status Quo Vadis – Haifa Municipal Theater 1974  SYLVESTER 72 \u2013 Haifa Municipal Theatre 1975  THE JOKER \u2013 Haifa Municipal Theatre 1976 The Night of the Twentieth (Hebrew: \u05dc\u05d9\u05dc \u05d4\u05e2\u05e9\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd) Haifa Municipal Theatre 1976  NERVES \u2013 Haifa Municipal Theatre 1977  TENANTS \u2013 Haifa Municipal Theatre 1977  GOG & MAGOG SHOW \u2013 Zavta Cultural Club, Tel Aviv 1977  REPENTANCE \u2013 Zavta Cultural Club, Tel Aviv 1978  HOMEWARD ANGEL \u2013 Habima 1979  WEDDING NIGHT \u2013 Habima 1980  THE LAST WORKER \u2013 Beit Leissin Theatre, Tel Aviv 1981  WARS OF THE JEWS \u2013 Jerusalem Khan Theatre 1982  WEININGER’S NIGHT \u2013 Haifa Municipal Theatre 1984 Ghetto (Hebrew: \u05d2\u05d8\u05d5) Haifa Municipal Theater; Free Volksbuhne, Berlin 1984 Pasodoble – Zavta Cultural Club, Tel Aviv 1985  PALESTINIAN GIRL \u2013 Haifa Municipal Theatre 1986  COUNTDOWN \u2013 Zavta Cultural Club, Tel Aviv 1987 Jerusalem Syndrome (Hebrew: Syndrome Israel) – Haifa Municipal Theater 1989 Adam – Habima 1991  UNDERGROUND \u2013 YALE REP.
