When the immortal leader of a mysterious cult in the south of Israel suddenly dies one evening, her two sons, Prequel and Sequel, try to prevent the orphaned community from falling apart.

"A madcap nonsense play that is basically a workplace comedy set in a cult that worships fans... Almost every line hides a sophisticated joke... For me, it was a cathartic experience: I haven't seen satire that so clearly laughs at me, or at least at my surroundings, for a long time. The jokes observe the lack of meaning both inside and outside the cult, and about what power does to people and leaders... Above all, it's a fun show, a hallucinatory carnival that you laugh at—and still leave with stomach pain."
Itamar Katzir – Haarez

"A good idea that turns into a witty text and takes on a flexible body, with the same explosive energy maintained between each stage, like a refreshing breeze that allows the viewer to surrender with pure pleasure to the circus that is bustling on stage. Layers of absurdity, sophisticated humor and well-orchestrated punches send the viewer like guided missiles into the collective reservoir of the Israeli consciousness. It is well written, properly constructed and wonderfully acted" Merav Yodilevich - The Stage

"There are plays that quietly manage to get under the skin, not through pathos or melodrama, but through continuous laughter, clever quips and a crooked mirror that is placed in front of Israeli society. 'Prequel and Sequel to Inheritors of a Cult', the new play by the Working Group Ensemble directed by Ben Sagarsky, is exactly this type: a smart, sometimes macabre satire that simultaneously manages to make us laugh, challenge us and make us think about who we are as a society." Aviva Rosen, Today's Entertainment

Premiered at the Ephraim Kishon Israeli Comedy Festival with artistic accompaniment by Yiftach Leibovitz
