| Details: | Set in 2002 in Jerusalem at the height of the intifada, Paradise tells the story of two high school students--one Palestinian the other Israeli--who are facing a dire time in their lives. From across a divided West Bank, Fatima and Sarah search for truth and question the validity of the war that defines and divides their worlds. In a collision that is both emotionally riveting and wonderfully theatrical, they face a fate that challenges the historical, religious, and national forces of entitlement that we all possess. Directed by UWM Theatre student Janine Bannier, with an all-student cast and production team, the one-act Paradise is a relevant and poignant look into a timeless conflict suitable for all audiences from middle school up. |
