Scenes from 68* Years

<p><i>What are we doing then? Come on lets go - all of us lets tell everyone in the street its too late we've lost all the years of hardship being murdered imprisoned having your homes taken your jobs your fields your olives your ability to move from one place to another - everything you have endured has been for nothing. They've<br>won. So let's just leave it to them disappear. It's what they want. You are doing what they want. You are an educated young Palestinian man. We need you here. Stay. <p/>Scenes from 68 Years</i> is a selection of intertwined vignettes telling the story of ordinary Palestinians at a very human level with mischievous humour. It offers snapshots of the routine of life in the shadow of occupation: we look into an Israeli household with a rebellious pro-Palestinian teenager join a tediously long queue at an Israeli check point and get swept into an absurd act of civil disobedience by Palestinian civilians in a desperate attempt to get worldwide media attention. <p/><i>Scenes from 68 Years</i> was selected from 100 scripts by the Arcola Theatre and the play received its world premiere at the Arcola Theatre on 5 April 2016 in a production by Sandpit Arts.</p>
