Silk Road Theatre Project and Theatre Mir present scenes from their productions of Motti Lerner’s Pangs of the Messiah and Robin Soans’ The Arab-Israeli Cookbook, two plays portraying unique perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: the former an intra-Jewish story about a family of religious West Bank settlers set in 2012 and the latter a verbatim play based on interviews with Christians, Jews and Muslims living in Israel and the West Bank. The program includes a lively panel discussion on the challenges of dramatizing the personal and political within the context of the Middle East. Moderated by Venus Zarris (Chicago Stage Review and Gay Chicago Magazine).
