Company description
I was born in Britain, moved to Israel—like Israela‘s character Elisheva—just before the Israeli war of ’56, and grew to adulthood in Jerusalem. I have a BA in English literature and a masters and PhD in theater arts from UCLA. As a director and teacher of theater, I was trained to manipulate conflict for dramatic effect. What a glib endeavor that is, I tell myself, compared to the blood and tears of real life. Since childhood, I’ve watched friends and family struggle, question, and sacrifice their children to the Israel-Arab conflict. I watch as people live with war.
