Drowning Fish Productions are staging a production of Caryl Churchill’s controversial play for Gaza – Seven Jewish Children, written in response to the crisis in Gaza in 2008-9. After being written in 2009 it was immediately performed at the Royal Court. This current production is being performed in the Round Studio in Aberystwyth Arts Centre on Wednesday 3rd September at 7.45pm in response to the present crisis in Gaza. The play traverses the last 80 years, looking at the horrors of the Holocaust, the Zionist settlement of Palestine, to the establishment of Israel and the Palestinian Nakba, the 1967 war and the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights to the first Palestinian Intifada up to the recent war. The Arts Centre has donated the use of the space and entry is free. Voluntary donations will go to Medical Aid for Palestine. There will be a post-show discussion to talk about the issues raised by the piece. To book please contact Aberystwyth Arts Centre on 01970 62 32 32 or go online www.aber.ac.uk/artscentre |
