This contemporary re-spinning of the tale of the biblical patriarch & his descendants creates such a perfect theatrical-yet-intimate scale to consider the simultaneous interconnectedness & disparate experiences of Palestinians, Israelis, & American Jews. In our world today, this play feels like an emergency -- & also presents so many reasons to hope & work towards justice & peace & treating each other truly as family, with all the love & obligation & complexity that relationship carries.
The audio version on The Parsnip Ship podcast is well worth a listen for the wonderful performances...
