Recommendations of ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS

  • Michael Wells-Oakes: ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS

    This remarkable play tells of Abraham Abramowitz’s two families, one from Queens NY, one living in a refugee camp in Nablus. The coming together of Abraham’s daughter, Maxine and her daughter Racie with his Palestinian daughter, Huda and daughter Amel, unfolds in the universe of the first Intifada. Their struggles are full of need, desire, contradiction. Abraham’s identification with the biblical Patriarch and promise to be father of Nations, leads to the play’s heart-wrenching climax. Challenging and deeply human, ABRAHAM's DAUGHTERS does what good theater must - - touch, illuminate, change...

  • Suzanne Willett: ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS

    A deeply personal lens into the tragedy that is the complicated history of the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Goldman-Sherman seamlessly weaves concepts of legacy, separation and power into the history of the Lipschitz family. A brave play that demands a reconsideration of the conflict in the Middle-East.

  • Nelson Diaz-Marcano: ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS

    An examination of a conflict through the eyes of a family caught in the middle of it. History and ideals clash as a man tries to understand his role in the ever changing world and what love ultimately means. Expertly written, this play would be a harrowing experience on stage.

  • Cheryl Bear: ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS

    Beautifully written, the story of two halves of one family struggling to decide to come together or fervently resist. Split between an eager desire for understanding or a refusal to change one's point of view and hear the other side out of fear that ones reality will be altered or that something may be taken away. Heart wrenching and poetically composed, a brilliant piece of theatre. Yes, this needs to be seen. Excellent.

  • David Sard: ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS

    An incredibly intense and well-crafted play, full of the warmth and the agony of Palestinian - Israeli relations. Needs to be seen.
