A large number of political plays have been written in Israel over
the past fifty years, and they are perceived, by audiences and
critics alike, as major interventions in the country's ongoing
political debates; the result is that Israeli drama is at the
centre of many public controversies. In this first full-length
study of Israeli political drama Glenda Abramson shows that during
the early years of the State of Israel most of its intellectuals
were identified with the 'official' state interpretation of
Zionism. After the Six-Day War in 1967 an influential group of
playwrights, concerned with the evolution of Zionist ideology in
the modern nation state, began to question the ethical basis of
Zionism. Hanokh Levin, Yehoshua Sobol, Yosef Mundi, Miriam Kainy,
Amos Kenan and others have gone on to examine Zionism as it affects
contemporary Israeli society.
