N.m. SheikevitchN.M. Sheikevitch was a Yiddish novelist and, beginning around 1880, a playwright in Yiddish theater in Odessa, Ukraine. Jacob Adler wrote of his melodramas "Nothing so crude as this can be found in Goldfaden... but the humor in Sheikevitch is more believable." His first works for theater were written around 1881 and performed in at the Mariinski Theater in Odessa, Ukraine; Ukraine was then part of Imperial Russia. He soon had a troupe of his own, but its success was cut off by the 1883 ban on Yiddish theater in Russia. Plays - Der Bel Tchuve (The Penitent)
- Trefnyak (The Impure One)
