Young timid playwright meets with neurotic, Hamlet-obsessed national theatre manager to discuss possible production of his debut play. Ghost of legendary actor-father, twisted family history, hidden murder secret (wait a minute ... of course it's hidden, it's a secret!) and a sizable amount of prunes, are all part of this crazy ride in the f*cked-up world of theatre. This quick-paced comedy, reinforced with a brilliant directing concept that completely changes the audience’s perspective half way through the show, is the overseas debut production from this Israeli Fringe duo, head-butting repertory theatres into submission.

The Elephant and the Mouse

The Elephant and the Mouse, this year's only official Israeli participantsat the Edinburgh Fringe, have collaborated on more than one occasion, but this production marks their debut public performance. This daring dynamic duo form a Tel Aviv-based theatre company, formed by Erez Drigues, who currently works at the HaBima Repertory Theatre and Iftach Jeffrey Ophir, rising star of the opposing Cameri Theatre. Both are also acting, writing, directing or producing individual plays in independent or fringe theatres.
