THE ACCIDENT

February 4–March 8, 2009

A fatal accident on New Year’s Eve leaves a Chinese foreign worker dead on the road. Two couples’ intersecting lives unravel in the wake of their decision not to report the collision. When the daughter of one of the couples discovers the hidden secret, she undertakes a moral interrogation of the Israeli upper-middle class. From the David Mamet of Israel, a brilliant metaphor examining Israel’s relationship to the Far East and a biting look at the way we live.

Director Sinai Peter returns, reuniting with Pangs of the Messiah actors Michael Tolaydo and Becky Peters, for the English language premiere of this Israeli hit.
