Israeli Stage

Theater Review: “The Last Act” — Underdone

Joshua Sobol isn’t interested in exploring dramatic possibilities but making sure his equation about the inevitable mechanics of violence works out.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Guy Ben-Aharon, Israeli Stage, Joshua Sobol, The Last Act

Theater Review: Israeli Stage’s “The Hearing” — Academic Freedom, Under Pressure

Scripts like The Hearing also provide an optic through which to examine our own nation’s problems.

Theater Review: “Days of Atonement” — Sin Overload

There are just too many traumas on Hasfari’s checklist, too little time allotted to dramatic depth.

Theater Review: “Oh God” — An Audacious Israeli Comedy

Anat Gov’s play about wrestling with life and God is an outrageously provocative script that showcases the best of contemporary Israeli art.

Theater Review: “Oh God” – Psychoanalysis Saves The World!

Maureen Keiller and Will Lyman have performed numerous staged readings of Oh God and their intimate knowledge of the text shows.

Theater Review: At Israeli Stage—Alma Weich Places a “Price Tag” on Violence

The timeliness of this staged reading made for one of the most heated and engaged talk-backs for any of the presentations in Israeli Stage’s six-year history.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Alma Weich, Guy Ben-Aharon, Israeli Stage, Price Tag

Theater Review: “The Strawberry Girl” — Harvest of Horror

Israeli Stage has opened its sixth season, which is dedicated exclusively to female playwrights, with a haunting work that examines the complicity of an ordinary German in the Holocaust.
