by Naomi Wallace Directed by Elena Araoz November 18th - December 19th

Three dream plays inspired by true events. An Israeli soldier meets a mysterious Palestinian woman in the Rafah Zoo. A Palestinian father reveals to a young Israeli their shared history. A bookish Iraqi bird collector tells of his conscription into Saddam's army. Through magic realism and surprising humor, The Fever Chart: Three Visions of the Middle East reaches out like prophecy, challenging us to envision peace during the holiday season.

Naomi Wallace commits the unpardonable sin of being…outrageously optimistic. She seems to believe the world can change. She certainly writes as if she intends to set it on fire."
