The Land is an original, three act play, concerning the past, current and about to be future ( unless something changes quickly ) Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It looks at the catastrophic mistakes of History that have led to the present cycle of violence, through the eyes of two women (Amirah and Tamara) and their families. The first act begins during the Second Intifada and the final act occurs in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead. As this very human drama unfolds, the audience is taken on an often shocking, emotional and provocative journey that climaxes with a surreal but hopeful ending. The setting of The Land is Jerusalem, but the story is about all of us, struggling to co-exist on this fragile planet.

Bank Holiday/President's Day

It's a crapshoot, but I'm rolling the dice!

Propaganda on both sides of the divide - disenfranchised Palestinians, traumatised by the Nakba and Israeli might - fear-ridden Jews haunted by centuries of persecution - colliding in time/space - each, a perfect reflection of the other. One people divided by Political Agendas - the only way out is Peace, Love and Understanding. It's too late for the blame game. Accusation creates more accusation, feeding the cycle of violence. Neither are blameless but who are we to judge? We can only help if we come from a place of compassion and forgiveness. This is the message of The Land. It brings to light the fears that have driven each side of this hopeless war. Please help us spread the word. Log on to Kickstarter, and pledge!
