The Siege is a dramatization by the Jenin Freedom Theatre of a 39-day siege of the Nativity Church in 2002 during the Second Intifada, when Palestinian militants holed up in the Bethlehem church. Sheren Khalel saw the “thrilling” 90-minute production in Palestine; but it comes to NYU Oct. 12-22, in a run that is already garnering criticism from the pro-Israel community.
