| Synopsis: | We just arrived here this morning. This is Kufur Shamma. Fifty years ago, there was a village here. My village. I must tell you the story. I must tell you the story of Kufur Shamma because if I don't, then the story - like the village - will disappear. My name is Walid. My friends and I are waiting for you! The Story of Kufur Shamma is about Walid and his search for the people of his village. It is the story of his journey and of the friends he meets on his way. It is the story of 'home' and just what 'home' can mean. Kufur Shamma is a fictitious village and in performing "The Story of Kufur Shamma," Theatre Day Productions is remembering the story of the 472 Palestinian villages that have been destroyed since the war of 1948 half a century ago. | |||||
