Shma

Based on a short story by Yehoshua Kenaz.


A coming-of-age story of a young boy in one of the small towns in the early days of the state of Israel. He encounters the ‘horror’ of life- sex, death and violence- in animals and humans alike. The necessity to form a stance on life- to believe in the good nature of people.

Two actors, two actresses and one big ‘wow’!! It was a punch in the face, in the best possible sense.I highly recommend it!

> Journalist Razi Barkai

Playwright and director Udi Ben Seadia guided two actors and two actresses and together they have put up a breathtaking string of pieces of life in the fringe of society, on the basis of Yehoshua Kenaz’s wonderful story… Kenaz, one of the greatest Israeli novelists, receives poetic justice here. The characters he created in his literary imagination come to a full three dimensional life. The director and actors deserve a deep bow for this accomplishment.

> Actor and director Oded Kotler

Wonderful work! The adaptation to the stage, the detached characters, the acting- all create a very strong and unique experience.
