ESTHER: THE FEAST OF MASKS puts the biblical story of the virtuous Queen Esther (and her rebellious predecessor, Queen Vashti), into a modern context, with an examination of what it means to hide and reveal one's truest self. Songs range from African chant and Hebrew folk tunes to '50s pop and blues.
Refreshments and a discussion follow the performance sponsored by the Southwest Boston Interfaith Congregations
