Palestinian Youth Theater in NYC one night only

Blame the Wolf
Performed by Alrowwad Theatre from Bethlehem, Palestine

Atlantic Theater Company
Linda Gross Theater
336 West 20th Street
New York, NY 10011
A play for children and adults, performed by Palestinian youth from Aida Refugee Camp, Blame the Wolf is a sequel to Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf is arrested and all those who have struggled with him are invited to testify. The three little pigs are there, Hansel and Gretel, the goats…the trial begins. But as the story unfolds, we find out the goats are not so sure about their accusations against the wolf— it seems he actually saved Hansel and Gretel from the witch’s claws.  As the trial continues we see stereotypes fill the court, even from the jury who has never heard of a “good” wolf.  The wolf is “bad” by nature, surely he ate the grandmother. But why don't we allow the wolf to tell his own story? 
*There will be a reading of Caryl Churchill’s Seven Jewish Children featuring Tony Award-nominated and Obie Award-winning actress Kathleen Chalfant before the performance. The play was written by Churchill in response to Israel’s recent attack on Gaza.
