Israeli play to be performed in British National Theater

Israel's national theater Habima makes an unprecedented achievement: In May 2010, an Israeli Hebrew-language play will be performed at the British National Theater for the first time in history.

In meetings with Habima Theater’s artistic director, Ilan Ronen, it was agreed to stage two plays in London and in Tel Aviv in 2010, which would deal with the British Mandate era and its implications on the complex political reality between Israel and the Palestinians.

According to Haaretz's Tzipi Shochat, the meeting at which the decision was taken was also attended by David (the "Yellow Wind") Grossman, an early Peace Now activist who exploited his position as editor and presenter on Kol Yisrael to promote leftwing ideas and positions, and Zev (anticolonialist) Sternhel.

Three left-wingers do not a fair presentation make of the Mandate period and the issue of the "Palestinians", which Haaretz termed "the political conflict between Jews and Palestinians", not Arabs please note!

And so the radical trendy lefty subversion of Israel continues, at a theater in London.

UPDATE


On the playwright:

Of course, Anda is a figment of Hillel's imagination, but that's his job as a playwright, he must tell the human story without which it is impossible to put on the play. These things took place; there was intervention. Mapai was the state, and the state was Mapai."

Do you think a playwright is obligated to the historical truth?

"As I see it, the basis of the historical truth must be there, but a performance or a play is not a documentary film."
