Review of Yuval Ben-Ami, Israel Today 15/1/10

"…it is a human play and excels in love the world of women family ties between mothers and daughters and grandmothers and granddaughters. It's a good show but not simple. Wajdi Mouwad ,Beirut born playwright, is a strong and brave creator that nothing scares him. The young and courageous team are doing a very good job, a lot of emotion there, humor and poetry.

Dori Parnas translated sharply and talented Michael Ronen takes full depth of the stage to distinguish between present and past and at the same time intertwined them together, because you can not tear them apart... "
