While Middle East peace negotiations are stalled, audiences in the nation’s capital are being treated to a rich array of theatrical presentations about the unresolved issues of this volatile region for the past month.
Tovah Feldshuh brought her tour de force performance as Golda Meir in William Gibson’s “Golda’s Balcony” to Theater J. Originally the longest running one woman show on Broadway (at 15 months) Feldshuh is captivating as the Israeli ruler, who reminisces about her Zionist past while the country faces attacks from neighboring Arab countries in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Golda also struggles with personal issues while facing political challenges that come with ruling Isreal.
