It's been way too long since I've posted anything. I have been quite busy, but that's not a good excuse. I have finished my presentation and am ready to start giving it, but I will probably wait until after the holidays, as it will be easier to schedule then.
For now, I'd like to pass along an advertisement for something I had a very small hand in developing:
SEVEN DAYS FROM A GAZA DIARY
passages from the diary of Khulood Ghanem
adapted and edited by Edward Mast
SUNDAY, December 6, 4PM
Kings Books
218 St Helens Ave in downtown Tacoma free admission
With post-performance Q&A with playwright Ed Mast and a friend of the diarist
A riveting personal account of the first seven days of Israel’s assault on Gaza, written by a young woman living under the bombing.
Excerpts from the diary of 27-year old Khulood Ghanem, who wrote about her experiences throughout Israel's 22-day assault on Gaza last winter.
The first seven days of her diary have been adapted for reading performance by Seattle playwright Edward Mast. Featuring actors Meg Savlov, Teresa Kennedy, and Juliana Meira Do Valle.
A rare insight into a young woman's attempt to grapple with extraordinary events.
“ . . . . at this moment I could see nothing, all I remember was the biggest explosion I have ever seen, I started to run away but to where? The sound of bombs and explosions was horrible, the ground was moving up and down, I said, it is not a joke, it is a real, the war has started . . . . “
