Connexions Calendar

A Play: "Tennis in Nablus" by Ismail Khalidi


May 27, 2016


A 2010 play by Palestinian-American playwright, Ismail Khalidi, which explores a relatively-unknown chapter of Palestinian history, shedding light on the revolt of the late 1930's and showing how these events helped to shape the 70+ years that have followed. He ambitiously analyzes not only the conflicts between the Palestinians, British, and Zionists, but the conflicts within each of those groups as well. There is tension between the Palestinian rebel and the collaborator; and between the racist, brutal and pompous English officers and the Irish and Indian soldiers who are other victims of Empire forced by circumstances into British uniforms, who form a natural alliance with the Palestinian prisoners.
