DAI (enough) by Iris Bahr
Set in a Tel Aviv cafe in the moments before a suicide bomber enters, Iris Bahr's 2008 Lucille Lortel Award - winning ""DAI (enough)"" courageously speaks to tragic current events. Bahr plays eleven different characters who span the ideological and class spectrum of Israeli society, including a Zionist kibbutznik, an evangelical from America funding an Armageddon fantasy, a West Bank settler, a snooty expat living in Long Island, and a Palestinian professor trying to keep her son from taking the path of extremism. Thanks to the emotional depth and honesty with which Bahr endows these characters and their individual stories, a complex portrait of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict emerges. Alternately very funny and tragic, ""DAI (enough)"" is a brave attempt to humanize the headlines.
