Eating Ice Cream on Gaza Beach
T0565319891
It's sixty years since Israeli Independence. Good news for some, not good for others. While one side celebrates, the other mourns. It's a scorching day on Gaza beach. Again. From the Babylonians to the Greeks, the Romans, the French, the British, and now America, this narrow stretch of land has been picked over by divide-and-ruling invaders throughout the whole of recorded history. It is the people on the ground who pay the price though. It is the people on the sand this play is about. Neither a didactic dissection of what has gone before, nor a polemic about what ought to be, Shelley Silas's new play attempts - with humour and hope and passion - to look simply at what is.
