A magical and ludicrous parable of cohabitation pours warm liquid fun on the troubled waters of the Middle East conflict.
The scene: a house inhabited and laid claim to by an Israeli General and an Arab Professor of Literature.
Their bitter and bizarre cohabitation is underscored by the earth-shattering discoveries of the General's son. Powerful cosmic and regional consequences are unleashed when the Professor's daughter turns up with the remains of her mother.
Cast includes: David Calder, Raad Rawi, Bob Goody, Elsa Mollien (all subject to availability and confirmation)
The reading will be directed by Jonathan Chadwick and produced by Caryne Chapman Clark in a collaboration between Az Theatre and Artists in Exile
