About this show
Through the medium of theatre, David Hare gives a dramatic account of his travels though Israel and Palestine, from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to Gaza and Ramallah. The playwright was given unique access to a range of public and private figures, each with a different perspective on the region and its troubles. The resultant drama draws together these very different voices, exposing the passions and opinions that run deep throughout the region. At the end, like its author, the audience is left wiser but exhausted by the experience.

Gary Hay’s impressive performance never loses our attention and benefits from the larger space and thrust stage, which allow him to move about and speak directly to more sections of the audience.
