"Something small and good... In the places where the comedy steps on the gas, wanders to extremes and into the absurd, the acting responds with restraint (the actor Yuval Segal stands out in particular for his multitude of facial expressions and sloppy physical gestures) and there is a resonating power in this. This is a show that is cleverly designed, both in terms of the characters (Yonatan - Victor Sabag, Milli - Yarden Tusya Cohen, Maya - Maayan Weisberg, Daniel - Yuval Segal) and in terms of the set, which is minimalist and effective, designed by Dafna Peretz as a kind of outline, but its main success lies in the transparent threads of imagination that it stretches to the reality outside the theater."   Merav Yodilevich, stage website

"Playwright Noam Gil wrote an analogy for life in the State of Israel... Yigal Sachs's wonderful direction, combined with the excellent set and wonderful costumes, entrusted to Dafna Peretz, and the precise lighting design, entrusted to Yaakov Saliv, intensifies the work and allows viewers to envision and contain the storms and conflicts evident in the plot and space. The actors deliver virtuoso acting... An especially successful result, and raises many questions, which continue to resonate and poke at long hours after leaving the theater."   Dana Schumacher, Martha Knows

"Theater returns:

The director, the playwright and their just war on Covid
