"A one-person play about the history of Zionism. The play is told as a monologue through the character of an Israeli history professor who begins the lecture as a critic of Zionism but moves into an emphatic pro-Zionist stance, shifting from reason to passion or to put it another way from the rational to the irrational." - Arab Digest

Historical
A dense play with complicated threads: a young woman’s sense of identity is buried under the scar tissue of the residential school system. A chance encounter with a photograph exposes the legacy that binds her to her family and its ghosts.
Realistic
A terrorist attack in Jerusalem puts Eitan, a young Israeli-German genetic researcher, in a coma, while his girlfriend Wahida, an Moroccan graduate student, is left to uncover his family secret that brought them to Israel in the first place. Since Eitan’s parents erupted at a Passover meal when they realized Wahida was not Jewish, he has harboured a suspicion about his heritage that, if true, could change everything. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict hits close to home as his straight-laced family is forced to confront everything they know about their identities.
