Three Wolves and a Lamb

ABOUT THE PLAY:

How well do you really know your spouse? Your best friend? Your lover? Especially when you've followed your passion headlong, with rushed abandon, to live the change you believe in? That's what Rachel and Idris, a Jewish and Palestinian married couple, secretly wonder, and publicly dismiss. But when they convene a meeting with their close cadre of die-hard peace activists to plan a weekend peace camp for a group of Arab and Israeli kids, sudden, unexpected personal revelations threaten to blow up into a full-out war between them. A funny, sexy, irreverent take on just what it takes to make peace when you're at war with the one you love.
