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.

The Land Stirs More Controversy In Taos

The Land is the subject of the Editors Message in Hakol (the Taos Jewish Center's newsletter) this month! It's posted here - please go to page 2. Never mind that I upset them so much, they couldn't even get my name right - this is great news! As my late mother was fond of saying, "it's when they stop talking about you, that you need to worry!" To Karl's credit, he did attempt to calm down the controversy stirred by the TJC founder, Carmi Plaut in his Taos News Op-Ed, attacking the play, last January, by assuring them (TJC) that in fact, my intentions were and ARE to bring about peaceful resolution to the conflict through understanding and compassion for both sides. No matter, this old fear-ridden paradigm is dead. It's time for new ideas to bring light to this ancient conflict.
