_What are we doing then? Come on, lets go – all of us, lets tell
everyone in the street, its too late we've lost, all the years of
hardship, being murdered, imprisoned, having your homes taken, your
jobs, your fields, your olives, your ability to move from one place to
another – everything you have endured has been for nothing. They've
won. So let's just leave it to them, disappear. It's what they want.
You are doing what they want. You are an educated young Palestinian
man. We need you here. Stay.
Scenes from 68* Years _is a selection of intertwined vignettes telling
the story of ordinary Palestinians at a very human level with
mischievous humour. It offers snapshots of the routine of life in the
shadow of occupation: we look into an Israeli household with a
rebellious pro-Palestinian teenager, join a tediously long queue at an
Israeli check point, and get swept into an absurd act of civil
disobedience by Palestinian civilians in a desperate attempt to get
worldwide media attention.
_Scenes from 68* Years_ was selected from 100 scripts by the Arcola
Theatre and the play received its world premiere at the Arcola Theatre
on 5 April 2016 in a production by Sandpit Arts.
