The Land: A Sad Day For Humanity

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.

A Sad Day For Humanity

The Israeli Attack on the Peace Activists/Gaza Convoy was an act of aggression that exposes the Zionist Regime's moral decadence. I have spent this Memorial Weekend supporting family and friends here in Taos, who have lost one near and dear. Death is a comfort to one who has suffered terminal illness, and to their loved ones who have witnessed the long and brave struggle, but when death is inflicted on the innocent through violent execution and terror, no one wins. I have shed many tears these past two days; for the one who passed over from suffering into peace, and for those souls disembodied by this ongoing cycle of violence, seemingly without end. Please help us take The Land on the road this Fall, and donate via our paypal button. 10% of our proceeds goes to Grassroots Jerusalem, a coalition of young Israeli and Palestinian activists who need our help to ensure their voices and actions are heard above the cacophony of war machinery.
