The Habimah Theater is putting on staged readings in Hebrew of five plays from Britain's National Theater at the Tzavta in Tel Aviv from March 6-8. They include The People Next Door by Henry Adam about the intertwined lives of people in an apartment building, Stuff Happens by David Hare about Bush, Blair, Rice etc., and the disaster that is Iraq, Ryan Creig's What We Did To Weinstein that puts a young English Jew into the boiling cauldron of the Israel Palestine conflict, The Overwhelming by US playwright J. T. Rogers that plants an American family in the Rwandan civil war, and Harold Pinter's Celebration that places three Yuppie couples in a verbal slugfest at a smart London restaurant.
According to National Theater artistic director Nicolas Hytner, these plays "anatomize the moral values we claim to endorse and investigate the governing principles which underpin our societies."
Hytner, National Theater literary manager Sebastian Bourne, Yehoshua Sobol and others will also take part in a panel on political and social theater to be held Saturday, March 8.
