THE BORDER | SACRIFICE

Double Bill Staged Readings
The Border written by Galit Klas
Sacrifice written by Marc Radomsky

Two new plays exploring conflict, identity, power and belonging through intimate encounters shaped by pressure, memory and survival.

The Border

A routine customs interrogation at JFK Airport spirals into something far more dangerous when Tsippy Shulman arrives in New York following her mother’s death. What begins as a visa interview becomes a tense reckoning with migration, deferred ambition, Jewish identity and the seductive myth of America.

Sacrifice

An Israeli reservist and a wounded Palestinian fighter collide in an abandoned café as war rages outside. With nowhere to run, they are forced into a dangerous dialogue that strips away slogans and exposes the human cost of extremity. Tense, intimate and psychologically charged, Sacrifice examines what violence, ideology and survival demand of everyday people when escape is no longer possible.

Presented as staged readings, this double bill brings together two new works that place private encounters under public pressure — asking what remains possible when certainty begins to fracture.
