- Title
Star-Crossed Lovers in a Star-Crossed Land: Romeo and Juliet in Palestine.
- Authors
Johnson, Penny
- Abstract
Reflecting on a 2016 production of Romeo and Juliet in Gaza at Gaza City's Said al-Mishal Cultural Centre - destroyed two years later in a targeted Israeli air strike - the author turns to two other stagings of Romeo and Juliet in embattled Palestine, a joint 1994 production by the Israeli Khan Theater in Jerusalem and the Palestinian Kasaba Theater in Ramallah in the aftermath of the Oslo accords, and In Fair Palestine, a film made by students at the Friends School in Ramallah during the second Palestinian intifada with an initial screening in 2008. All three productions tell much about the times in which they were created.
