It is a Uniquely poetic 10 minute exploration of Israel and Gaza that premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London earlier this year and has now been seen all over the world The American premiere was directed by Dance & Drama Professor, ANDREW MANLEY, in Chicago in the Spring and he now directs it as part of his Acting Adjunct class here at CC. There is one performance – on SUN NOVEMBER 8th and the play will be performed in a continuous loop for an hour from 8.00pm to 9.00pm. The play has caused controversy wherever it has been seen with vociferous arguments for and against its apparent view of a long conflict but as Michael Billington of Britain’s Guardian said: “...the play solves nothing, but shows theatre’s power to heighten consciousness and articulate moral outrage.” Sponsored by The Drama/Dance Dept.
