Palestine. An epic snapshot of life under occupation.
A picnic interrupted by soldiers. Never-ending lines. Palestinian-Irish playwright Hannah Khalil draws from stories of family and friends to reveal the real human story: the dreams, comedy, sadness, and frustrations of daily life in the shadow of the ‘separation wall.’ The cast includes members of the Medina Theater Collective.
“Smart, tender, at times funny, consistently compassionate…” - Sharon Hoyer, Newcity Stage (click here for review)
"(Scenes From 73* Years) shows audiences a culture that is infrequently seen on our stages and it also shows the shared humanity of the characters...the company and the play are headed in a welcome direction." - J. Wynn Rousuck, WYPR (click here to listen)
★★★★★ “Exceptional… wickedly funny and heartbreaking” —The Stage
★★★★ “A deeply compassionate play… a powerful yet tender collection of everyday vignettes” —Time Out
“This new work confirms Hannah Khalil as a dramatist of compelling potential.” —Telegraph
“Smart and economical, simultaneously resonant with warmth and humanity, and shot through with exquisitely dark comedy. These scenes combine into a deft, kaleidoscopic portrait of ongoing struggle, acceptance, and simple survival.” —Exeunt Magazine
