Staging the Other Israel
Since 1970, the American-born Israeli director and acting teacher Nola Chilton has used documentary theatre to critique Israeli myths and to provide a space where groups generally excluded from the Israeli stage—Arabs, women, the poor, the elderly—can be seen and heard. Chilton's pioneering “theatre of testimony” bears a striking resemblance to recent documentary theatre practices proliferating in the U.S. and Europe

Susan Glaspell
Murder, She Wrote
Women killing somebody else, especially when that somebody is male, has fascinated criminologists, lawyers, psychologists, and writers. Fascinated and frightened them. Fear is subtext of Jones's book: the fears of men who, even as they shape society, are desperately afraid of women, and so have fashioned a world in which women come and go only in certain rooms; and . .. fears of those women who, finding rooms too narrow and door still locked, lie…
