Settlements

 

Seth Rozin has done it again with his powerful World Premiere of Settlements, presented by the InterAct Theatre Company and appearing on the stage of the Proscenium Theatre at 302 S. Hicks Street through April 24, 2022. A thoughtful, dynamic, vibrant, and wildly personal drama, Settlements is based on a true story of a playwright who is commissioned by a Jewish Community Center to produce a play. After a trip to the West Bank, she identifies with the Palestinians and proceeds to write a play from their point of view, rather than the Israeli's. A major donor to the Jewish Community Center threatens to withdraw his financial support if the play is produced. The artistic director sides with the playwright. The head of the Center tries to mollify everyone.  Can this community ever be set to rights? The acting of each member of the ensemble cast is superb. Everything that Seth Rozin pens is worth more than one look, so be sure to get your first look and  purchase your initial tickets by visiting InterActTheatre.org or by calling 215-568-8079. You won’t want to miss costume designer Natalia de la Torre ‘s stunning outfits either.
