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.

What If?

What if the Palestinians are really descendants of the remnant who remained in The Land after the Roman Conquest? What if the Zionist movement was co-opted by a broader, Euro-American agenda that intended to get as many Jews into one small area as possible? What if the ongoing conflict between the Palestinians and Israeli Jews is a set-up to divide, conquer, weaken, numb and blind people to the truth? What if the Arab world (who care nothing for the Palestinian 'problem') is not innocent in these matters? The Land takes on all of this and more! Please help me raise the money I need to get this play back on its feet and seen by as many people as possible! Together we can change the paradigm AND the picture on the ground!
