Play Synopsis:
The year is 2145. Israel completely and exclusively occupies Palestine. An international commission meets to determine whether or not to establish a territory for Palestinians scattered throughout the world. In an effort to make amends, the commission plans to create a large area stretching from Jerusalem to the coast, opening onto the Mediterranean Sea along the entire Israeli coastline, to allow the Palestinian diaspora to return and establish a country. The ‘creation’ of this territory is planned for 2148.
