“A comic and cutting-edge theatrical chronicle about how we collaborate, as a brand-new Executive Director and her former boss return to the scene of a cross-cultural crack-up and rehearsal room revolt that sets the stage for an AD’s departure from the theater he launched with high purpose and blind spots. Restorative Justice is on the agenda but hard to find, as an ensemble re-unites and a right-wing Israeli Cabinet Minister materializes uninvited to spar with Eilat and Samad, radical artist-activists with agendas of their own, as their American hosts get caught in the middle, navigating treacherous terrain, in a journey of loss and learning, contrition and cancel culture – on both sides – all hanging in precarious balance.” – Washington Post
