Two Schmucks, Three Opinions

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. " - Desmond Tutu

Three years ago two friends, Steve and Jonathan, got into a Facebook fight, and as grown men decided to take it inside. Others take their fights outside, but, well. You know. Their fight was about Israel and Palestine. As theatre makers, they decided to take the only course of action available. It was in fact a three-course action – lunch, or to be precise three lunches. During these lunches they spoke about Israel and Palestine but also found out about each other, about how maybe they had gotten to the the positions they had. Steve transcribed the whole nine yards, well actually more like nine hours. Then they spent three years not having lunch, gradually editing it in to a theatre piece.
