I wanted to enjoy this play more than I did. It was written soon after the Baruch Goldstein atrocity in Hebron in the mid 1990s.
Here is a link to the Orange Tree resource on the play & production.
It was an excellent production and a fast moving play to be sure. David Antrobus, one of the Orange Tree regulars, was excellent as the central character Nathan.
But while the play was interesting throughout and covered many pertinent issues, it didn’t quite work for me; nor for Janie. The play is primarily about a young Canadian’s sense of collective guilt for the atrocity; for my part, I found hard to buy into the collective guilt idea.
Somewhat mixed, but most of the reviews are very good for this production – the search term linked here will find them for you.
Did we have a Spanish meal at Don Fernando’s after seeing this play? You bet.
