"The Last Act" - An Israeli Stage Production
|
Saturday, May 19, 4:00 p.m. at Calderwood Pavilion's Martin Hall
Please come to a Temple Israel-only performance of Joshua Sobol's "The Last Act," produced by Israeli Stage. This is a wonderful way to enter into our holiday of Shavuot that celebrates our Torah and reminds us that critical thinking and learning is central to our tradition. Joshua Sobol will be guiding post-show dialogue alongside Israeli Stage Founder Guy Ben-Aharon.
Sobol, despite being one of Israel's most well known artists, couldn't find a home for it in Israel due to the play's gravitational force: the Israeli Palestinian conflict. It couldn't get produced in Israel because Israeli theatres are state-subsidized and fear losing funding over something so politically potent. For that reason, Boston's Israeli Stage is producing the World Premiere Production of Joshua Sobol's "The Last Act." Read more and buy tickets.
