Returning to Haifa Play
August 18, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Let’s See a Play!
Unadilla Theatre is performing Returning to Haifa. They have added a Sunday Matinee and a talk back session after the play – with us in mind!
WHEN: Sunday, August 18, 2:00 PM
Please Register: So we know how many people to expect, if you plan to carpool from OZ and. If there is interest, we can have dinner in Montpelier after the play – and talk about it some more!
ABOUT THE PLAY: Adapted by Ismail Khalidi and Naomi Wallace from a novella by the Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani, it was originally Commissioned by New York’s Public Theater. Unadilla is premiering it with a New York cast and director. The play works on several levels: as a poignant family drama, as a plea for Israeli-Palestinian understanding and as a warning of what will follow without some form of reconciliation. This could easily be a propaganda piece. Instead, it offers a moving confrontation between two sets of displaced people and an utterly unsentimental exploration of the complexities of home, history and parenthood.
WHERE: Unadilla Theatre, 501 Blachly Road, Marshfield Vermont 05658
