Events & Calendars "Ulysses on Bottles" Shabbat Dinner and Play Reading

Please join Amherst Hillel and Boston-based theater company Israeli Stage this Friday night for a reading of Gilad Evron's play "Ulysses on Bottles" over dinner at 6:30 p.m. in Friedmann Room! "Ulysses on Bottles" tells the story of the charged relationship between an Arab Israeli jailed for trying to deliver Russian literature to Gaza, and a Jewish Israeli lawyer who takes on the case pro bono. On the surface, the perspectives of the two men illuminate different reactions to Gaza. More deeply, "Ulysses on Bottles" is an allegory on the definition of freedom, what it means, what it entails and what it demands. Winner of Israel Theater Prize’s Best Original Play in 2012. Sponsored by Amherst College Hillel.
