Sex, political violence in Stockholm, Tel Aviv and Paris.
Political murder in suburban London.
Death, love and homicide in New York.
War in the belly of a whale.
These are the themes in Julia Pascal's latest collection which
takes place in London in 1946, Europe in 1982, Manhattan today and
in a whale at anytime.
"Honeypot" Ten years after the massacres at the Munich Olympics,
Susanne joins Mossad as a secret agent. This beautiful Swedish
woman is at the heart of a struggle between desire and destruction,
between love and infidelity, between motherhood and freedom.
Between Arab and Jew.
"Broken English" An exploration of a secret history that happened
in London just after the end of the war. Why was there a plot to
assassinate Ernest Bevin, the Foreign Secretary by right-wing
Jewish activists? When does loyalty to nation state conflict with
loyalty to nation?
"Nineveh" What happens when four former soldiers are trapped in a
whale? How can they live with the atrocities they have committed
and escape from this hell which imprisons them? Based on research
in Kashmir, Israel, Rwanda and Lebanon, this Beckettian play fuses
absurd humour, the horror of war and the possibility of redemption
in a ninety-minute drama.
"Woman on the Bridge" Judith, a London journalist, goes to the
Brooklyn Bridge. Does she want to jump off? On her disturbing
journey she spends a night with a very young man, she meets Anna,
her hundred-and-ten-year old great aunt and Gloria, a homicide cop.
Her encounters with these New Yorkers forces her to change her
life.
