Hanan Snir’s theatrical adaptation of
David Grossman’s
To the End of the Land will make its North America debut at Lincoln Center
July 10-30, 2017.
“Instead of celebrating her son Ofer’s discharge from the Israeli Army, Ora finds her life turned upside down and inside out when he reenlists and is sent back to the front for a major offensive. Unable to bear the thought of sitting alone waiting for the ‘notifiers’ to bring her bad news, the recently separated Ora decides to hike in the Galilee, where she will be both anonymous and inaccessible. . .” (Booklist)
Books may be borrowed for three weeks.
