5. Caryl Churchill’s Seven Jewish Children, a play for Gaza (which is in no way “anti-Semitic”).

Watch Jennie Stoller perform Caryl Churchill’s play, Seven Jewish Children- A Play for Gaza, which was written in response to the situation in Gaza in January 2009. This link will also give you the access to the written play. No children appear in the play. The speakers are adults, the parents and if you like other relations of the children. The lines can be shared out in any way you like among those characters. The characters are different in each small scene as the time and child are different. Please feel free to download the play. This play can be read or performed anywhere by any number of people.
