Amsterdam by Maya Arad Yasur
‘Everyone knows, all of them… that when all’s said and done, she is no more than a fig leaf hiding the thing everyone else would be much happier never having to look at.’ An Israeli violinist. Living in her trendy canal-side Amsterdam apartment. Nine months pregnant. One day a mysterious unpaid gas bill from 1944 arrives. It awakens unsettling feelings of collective identity, foreignness and alienation. Stories of a devastating past are compellingly reconstructed to try and make sense of the present. First seen at the Haifa Theater, Israel, in 2018, Amsterdam is a strikingly original, audacious thriller by Maya Arad Yasur. It received its UK premiere, in this English translation by Eran Edry, at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in 2019, directed by Matthew Xia, in a co-production between the Orange Tree, Actors Touring Company and Theatre Royal Plymouth.'A fascinating, multilayered play'
* The Stage *'An intense, meta-theatrical play about collective guilt and invisible otherhood'
* WhatsOnStage *Maya Arad Yasur is a prize-winning Israeli playwright, whose work has been produced worldwide. Her other plays include God Waits at the Station, Ten Minutes from Home and Suspended.
