Three short plays by American writer Naomi Wallace weave together Palestinian and Israeli lives. There could hardly be a more powerful metaphor for the bond that links the two peoples than the Israeli student nurse who breathes with transplanted Palestinian lungs; or the Israeli soldier and grieving Palestinian mother bound by grief and death. Directors Marcus Romer and Katie Posner (who says her Jewish roots informs her attitude to the subject) direct the strong cast with admirable simplicity. But plays about this conflict have to deliver more than a depiction of mutual suffering.
