Abstract

The publication of a trilogy of plays by Yael Farber is very timely. At present, both in the UK and beyond, there seems to be an emerging and ever increasing search for the truth in stories - both in art and politics. In the political arena, since the fabulated stories of 'weapons of mass destruction' that initiated the invasion of Iraq in 2003, never before have our politicians been regraded with such unprecedented and wide-held distrust.
