Our World: The bothersome, annoying truth

[Scootaloo]

13. Well, point of fact, there ARE such plays, Shira.

For instance, "Seven Palestinian Children" written by Deb Margolin. And before you leap up to claim that this piece "hasn't been shown" or something similar... it has. In point of fact it's been shown at the very same Theater J this thread starts off talking about - as a direct response to "Seven Jewish Children."

There's also "Seven Other Children" by Richard Stirling, and breaking the seven theme, is "What Strong Fences Make," written by Israel Horovitz (I can't find script or video, maybe you'll have better luck). Seven Other Children falls behind Jewish / Palestinian children in quality, as it seems to lack the diversity of opinion and perspective that make those two "work." And like I said, I can't say about Horovitz' piece, since I can't find it.

I notice that, for the reader's convenience, your link has both the script of Seven Jewish Children, and this Seven Muslim Children thing together on the same page. I want you to compare the two. You're right that the latter is undoubtedly bigoted; can you tell me why this is? And can you identify the differences between the two?

There's no time limit, but you WILL be graded
