"Caryl Churchill's 10-minute play was written in response to the recent tragic events in Gaza. It confirms theatre's ability to react more rapidly than any other art form to global politics.... [and] suggests that Israeli children are subject to a barrage of contradictory information about past and present... What she captures, in remarkably condensed poetic form, is the transition that has overtaken Israel, to the point where security has become the pretext for indiscriminate slaughter. Avoiding overt didacticism, her play becomes a heartfelt lamentation for the future generations who will themselves become victims of the attempted military suppression of Hamas."

-- Michael Billington, The Guardian (February 11, 2009)

The evening is free of charge,
a collection for Medical Aid to Palestine
will be taken up at the end of the evening.


As a world, we utterly failed the Palestinians of Gaza. We stood and watched them die and justified our own inaction'

--Account by Rose Mishaan of the National Lawyer's Guild delegation to Gaza of her experiences in Gaza.
