Perhaps this is the show with the longest name?
theSpace UK will present David Kaye’s award-winning solo-play How I Brought Peace to the Middle East: A Tragicomedy for a limited five-performance run, August 8-12 at 18:00 at the “Space on the Mile, Space 1.”
Kaye tells the story of moving his small family to Israel for six months in 2012 to teach on a Fulbright Scholarship. With missiles flying and his wife and children kvetching, Kaye had high hopes of settling the turmoil overseas once and for all. This funny and touching one-man show will take the audience along on Kaye’s misadventures from his home in a northern New England state to the Holy Land. The true story of a naïve Vermonter on a mission, the play reveals one man’s optimism put to the ultimate test.
Kaye won a Spotlight on the Arts Award (regional media award) for best new play for the show and has performed the piece as an official selection at the prestigious United Solo Festival in New York City as well as the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine and at colleges and theatres throughout the U.S. The play traveled next to the Festival of Creativity at the University of Montevallo (Alabama, USA) before heading to Scotland.
Kaye is a Professor of Theatre and Dance at the University of New Hampshire. He has worked throughout the U.S. as a professional actor and director for both theatre and television. He is a published and produced playwright and was the winner of the 1998 Zornio Playwriting Prize. His play And God Said (#@&$!), co-written with Oded Gross, was a Montreal Gazette top ten pick at the Montreal International Fringe Festival.
How I Brought Peace to the Middle East, A Tragicomedy is an Actor’s Collaborative Theatre of New England production.
