Go 
to Hell and drink salt water. Not you, obviously; that's just Yasser Arafat's common message to those denying his people their own state. It's also the real meaning of the title of this play presenting the story of the Palestinians' plight: Israeli air strikes and bulldozings, houses reduced to rubble above families. But telling stories is all it does until we see a son who wants to play outside. It's halfway in, and the first time there's a real feeling of drama. Many of the characters blur together and, while a very worthy subject, the script feels one-sided, unbalanced, the Israeli voice conspicuous by its absence. And why do we need Hamas to dance at the end?
tw rating: 3/5
