Synopsis: | Maggie, an unhappy 29-year-old, returns to Jerusalem 10 years after falling in love while working on a Kiibbutz. But her first love, an Israeli, is" now only a ghost, and her boyfriend, Ben, wants her to turn her back on the past and make a future with him. In Jerusalem Maggie runs into Josh, who was her friend on the kibbutz and is now married to the Israeli Galit, a consultant psychiatrist at a local hospital, which treats people suffering from a psychotic condition known as Jerusalem Syndrome. Some of those affected are merely tourists who have found the weight of history, spirituality and expectation in Jerusalem overwhelming. Others were already in mental crisis before they came to the Holy Land seeking something to make sense of their lives. The hospital is full df people who think that they are Jesus, Samson, Dellla or some other biblical figure. Maggie isn't quite this far gone but she is soon behaving like Lot's Wife, constantly looking back over, her shoulder, paralysed by glimpses of something and someone that she lost. Yet, as Rosenthal makes clear, Maggie is living under an illusion. Her love affair with Oded was unlikely ever to have a happy ending: she was not Jewish and he was an Orthodox Jew. Marriage was out of the question. | |||||

Notes: | Part of Sixty-Six Books: 21st-century writers speak to the King James Bible. Play is a response to the King James Bible book of Romans | |||||
| The King James Version of the Bible (KJV) is a foundation stone of the English language. The KJV was composed as a collective project and written to be spoken. Sixty-Six Books has been created, in the spirit of the original, in the same way. Pulpit to print; stage to page; mediated through many forms oral and written, the KJV has, since its inception, been a fundamental part of written and spoken English.This is a work that has travelled to every continent of the globe. It has been shared as a melodic instrument of inspiration, illumination and mutual understanding; and it has also been wielded as a tool of colonial oppression. Sixty-Six Books is a fresh interpretation of the KJV for the new millennium, celebrating and challenging the traditions and achievements of this great work on the occasion of its 400th anniversary. The curators of this project have gathered together a formidable and inspiring line-up of the best established and emerging writing talent to produce a new version of the KJV for thetwenty-first century. Each writer has created anew a book of the KJV - as prose, poetry, drama, performance, song, or ground-breaking digital form. Each writer has spoken back to the KJV with untrammeled inventiveness of the imagination. The voices of Sixty-Six Books, drawn from across five continents, innovate, transmute, transpose, reinvent and talk back to four hundredyears of history. All the works that make up Sixty-Six Books are written to be spoken. Culminating in major performance events at the Bush Theatre and Westminster Abbey in 2011 in London, Sixty-Six Books is a contribution towards the mutual curiosity, tolerance, and force of collective enterprise and shared humanity that characterizes the international and ancient arts of writing and spoken performance | |||||

Notes: | Written By Amy Rosenthal and Cosh Omar . Hampstead Theatre's second new writing festival is what the theatre describes as "something of a cross-breeding experiment". It's called Daring Pairings and, as the publicity says, "instead of crossing a sheep with a kangaroo and getting a woolly jumper, or a centipede with a parrot and getting a walkie-talkie, we've been cross-breeding writers, artists and theatre companies." | |||||
