Thank you THE NATION for remembering my play, Ariel Sharon Stands at the Temple Mount and Dreams of Theodor Herzl -- and for demanding (Jewish) theatre artists speak more incisively to the current moment.
The situation in Israel/Palestine gets only more calamitous and horrifying, as does American complicity. I hope this play about the birth of Zionism and its brutal implementation in Palestine can shed light. I also hope a theatre will be brave enough to allow it to do so. In 2007 and again 2010 it was deemed "too controversial" by theaters that said they loved it. Perhaps today it can find a home.
