Sixteen Wounded

Sixteen Wounded is a play told with both humor and heart wrenching honesty, which revolves around the fateful colliding of two seemingly disparate lives - a lonely, emotionally remote Jewish baker, and a passionate, young Palestinian far from home. A friendship evolves as the two men struggle with their personal identities and their loyalties - to their past, their beliefs, and, finally, to each other. But can this relationship stave off the inevitable?

Sixteen Wounded premiered at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, CT in February 2003 under the direction of Matt August. A revised version premiered on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre in April 2004 under the direction of Gary Hynes.
