    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.

    Bell does a wonderful job of creating the origin story for R&J. Her use of strategy, subterfuge and deceptions are a marvelous homage to Shakespearean tragedy. Rose is a fully realized character struggling to make the most out of her limited options, a struggle that still resonates with women today. Kudos to Bell for taking Shakepeare into the present!

    The interplay between the characters illuminates both the complexity and irony of incest in a painfully personal way. While subject matter of this nature could easily become another tragedy, Goldman Sherman demonstrates her dramatic skill by leaving the audience with an image of hope.
