SARAH'S WAR @ The Hudson Theatre

Date: February 23, 2012

WORLD PREMIERE: “SARAH’S WAR” OPENS FEBRUARY 11 AT THE HUDSON THEATRE

“Sarah’s War” is a fictional look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, suggested by the real-life experiences of the late American activist Rachel Corrie.

Producer Jordan Elgrably suggests that “Sarah’s War” is “less polarizing” than some previous dramatic treatments. “Sarah’s War” includes Palestinian, Israeli and American perspectives, revealing humanity on all sides and avoiding the pitfall of objectification of the Other.

Sarah is an idealistic 23-year-old American woman who decides to join members of the International Solidarity Movement in Palestinian Territories under Israeli military occupation, much to the consternation of her Jewish uncle, to whom she initially appeals for support. He doesn’t want her to potentially put herself in harm’s way. It’s pointed out to her that there are plenty of worthwhile things that need to be done right in her own backyard.

It’s rough going for her once she arrives in the Middle East. A few Arabs would suspect her of being a spy. Some Israelis would regard her as a terrorist sympathizer. But she sees herself as a peace activist and is determined to remain.
