The Land: August 2010

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.

Time Out

I took the month of August off - except for Kickstarter I've done nothing with The Land. Instead I've been of service and support to members of my family who really needed me through difficult times. On the other side now, in bed with a nasty cold, thanks to Genevieve, my youngest daughter who plays Catherine in The Land and is not affected by the aforementioned problems..As Fall approaches with chilly nights and shorter days, I'm reminded of the fleeting nature of time - right now I feel there is none to waste and it's time to get back into rehearsal and on the road.We need help - not so much but enough to stay on our feet through the winter, while we oil the machine. Hope you'll log onto Kickstarter, check out our page and pledge! There's a link two posts below!

Only a $1.00 minimum pledge - less than your morning latte! $10.00 or more gets you our poster (see top of this page) and big virtual hugs for assisting us in getting this crucial message out there via the potent medium of theatre!
