The theatrical world in Israel and Palestine reflects the profound
divisions in the ongoing political conflict between the two sides.
But it also offers a way of understanding, challenging, and
resisting those divisions. Examining a wide range of plays by
Israeli, Palestinian, and western writers, this book is the first
comprehensive exploration of how the conflict has been represented
on stage. Drawing on postcolonial theory, Azza Harras examines the
ways both sides portray contested events such as the establishment
of the state of Israel and the events of 1948 (or 'Nakba' -
'catastrophe' in Palestinian terminology); and the Intifada as
resistance or terrorism all the while making comparisons between
Palestinian and Jewish diaspora and exile, within the paradigm of
theatrical performance. She reveals both the power of language as a
means of constructing and resisting historical narratives, and how
drama also serves as a forum for self-criticism. The first
sustained study of its kind, this book will be essential reading
for scholars of Postcolonial Studies, Middle East Studies and the
performing arts.
