PANGS OF THE MESSIAH
English Language World Premiere by Motti Lerner
Directed by Sinai Peter

A stunningly relevant depiction of Israeli West Bank settlers set in 2009 and the widely divergent responses within a family trying to resist the dismantling of their settlement by the Israeli army. Following the signing of a Peace Treaty between the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority, this drama moves from the Territories to the Temple Mount with frightening immediacy. By the celebrated Israeli author of The Murder of Isaac and Passing the Love of Women.
