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 World We All Live In

The world we live in has become a global village - thanks to the web, we can all see how interconnected we are. What happens in the Middle East can no longer be ignored as something too far away to affect us - the time of hiding heads in the sand has passed.It is clear that the agenda in the ME, is a Global agenda that we cannot afford to support, knowing our individual freedom is at stake. Politics and power breed corruption and can no longer be counted on to bring change. Change will come from the people at the Grassroots level, once they understand that they, indeed have the power. It is my firm conviction, that women will be in the forefront of these coming Global shifts in awareness. Women, mothers especially do not want to keep burying their children as a result of another futile war. I am asking all my friends, especially my women friends, to help me raise the funds I need, to have this play seen by as many people possible! Please log onto Kickstarter.com and pledge as much (or as little) as you can!
