Sixteen Wounded
by Eliam Kraiem
Synopsis
Sixteen Wounded is a play told with both humor and heart wrenching honesty, which revolves around the fateful colliding of two seemingly disparate lives - a lonely, emotionally remote Jewish baker, and a passionate, young Palestinian far from home.
A friendship evolves as the two men struggle with their personal identities and their loyalties - to their past, their beliefs, and, finally, to each other.
But can this relationship stave off the inevitable?
