Here is the link to the site for Garden of the Three: here.
From the site:
Garden of the Three, a play written by Iymen Chehade, is an example of that one small step. It is a play that highlights the conflict from a Palestinian perspective. Set in a Palestinian refugee camp in the town of Ramallah in 2002 under the rule of Ariel Sharon, a prime-minister found to be responsible by his own government of orchestrating Palestinian massacres two decades earlier, the play is centered on a family that struggles to be normal in the face of Israeli occupation. It is a story that will give the American viewer the chance to peek into the window of Palestinian life in a refugee camp. Moreover, it is an opportunity for people to see the courage and spirit that is innate in the unbreakable will of the Palestinian people. We ask for your support.
