Seven Jewish Children - Caryl Churchill
Israel's recent bombing and ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, Operation Cast Lead, killed 1417 Palestinians; thirteen Israelis were killed, five by friendly fire. Thousands of Palestinians were seriously wounded and left without adequate medical care, shelter or food. Among the Palestinian dead, more than 400 were children. In response to this devastation, Caryl Churchill wrote a play: Seven Jewish Children Churchill's 10-minute play consists of seven short scenes in which Israeli adults discuss how they will explain to children, who are never seen on stage, seven key moments in Israeli and Jewish history. This includes the Holocaust, the first Intifada and the present-day bombing of Gaza. According to Churchill, the play explores "the difficulties of explaining violence to children". Caryl Churchill has made Seven Jewish Children available for productions without licensing or royalties for presenters who request audience contributions for the London-based relief organization Medical Aid for Palestinians. Apr. 22, 2009 Larry Derfner from THE JERUSALEM POST Wrote: After reading a lot of the pro and (mainly) con about Seven Jewish Children - a play for Gaza, I prepared to write a column saying that while it took an excessively critical view of Israel, it was not anti-Semitic, and that there was a big difference between the two. Being a responsible journalist, I then set aside 10 minutes to actually read the play, and I found that not only isn't it anti-Semitic, it isn't ...

Tribes @ Royal Court Theatre - Audience Response
The audience response to a captioned performance of 'Tribes' by Nina Raine at The Royal Court Theatre. "Billy's fiercely intelligent and proudly unconventional family are their own tiny empire, with their own private language, jokes and rules. You can be as rude as you like, as possessive as you like, as critical as you like. Arguments are an expression of love. After all, you'd do anything for each other -- wouldn't you? But Billy, who is deaf, is one of the few who actually listens. Meeting Sylvia makes him finally want to be heard; can he get a word in edgeways?" Nina Raine's second play is a fascinating dissection of belonging, family and the limitations of communication. She won the Evening Standard Award and Critics Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright for her debut play Rabbit in 2006 and is also a director, recently directing Alia Bano's Shades at the Royal Court. Roger Michell's theatre directing credits include My Night with Reg (Royal Court), Rope, Female of the Species and Blue/Orange; his film credits include Venus, Enduring Love and Notting Hill.'

Aunt Dan and Lemon trailer - Royal Court Theatre
Aunt Dan and Lemon by Wallace Shawn at the Royal Court Theatre, London * * * * Daily Mail, Independent, thelondonpaper, The Times, whatsonstage.com Stunning. A compelling, sensitively poetic production, the 12-strong cast admirably led by Horrocks on scintillating, wickedly confidential form. A great evening. Independent A pertinent reminder of why Shawn is considered by many to have written one of the most significant plays since the end of World War II. It's a big claim, but it's a big play... an epic drama. Dominic Cooke's wonderfully absorbing production keenly taps into the play's mysterious atmosphere, striking a disturbing film noirish tone... the brooding production is packed with fabulous performances. Daily Mail Jane Horrocks is outstanding. Lorraine Ashbourne is sultry, explosive and magnificent. Observer Brutal and uncompromising, this is a play that doesnt offer easy answers but instead makes us question the sinister influences of decadence, war and family. thelondonpaper An eerie experience excellently directeddarkly mesmerising sensually beguiling. Guardian Arresting and disturbing. The Times Jane Horrocks plays Lemon, a frail and sickly raw-juice addict with a soft-spot for Fascists and Lorraine Asbourne plays the dangerous and manipulative Aunt Dan, who shares intimate and daring secrets of her decadent, exotic world with the young Lemon. A dark and provocative tale of influence and the glamour of cruelty. Wallace Shawn on his play: "I've always been ...
