A group of young boys invited a girl to a series of “forbidden games”. Group dynamics turn the seemingly innocent gathering to an arena of humiliation, topped up with a gang rape.
This Israeli classic by Edna Mazya concentrates on the criminal law thereafter, where the victim becomes the prosecutor, and the boys become their own defense attorneys. That crucial day is being re-acted, and a second rape is being committed through questioning and interrogation.
The play is based on a genuine incident, which turned Israeli criminal law habits upside down, and totally altered the public notion of sexual delicts. The play hasn’t lost its relevance, and was updated in this innovative and fascinating version.
