Touring of Play Cancelled
In Aug. 2002 The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park awarded its annual Lazarus New Play Prize to playwright Glyn O'Malley for Paradise, an examination of the impact of war on Israeli and Palestinian youth. The production was scheduled to tour high schools near Cincinnati in March 2003.
Cincinnati Muslims protested that the play, which depicts a character based on Ayat al-Akhras, an eighteen-year-old girl who blew herself up in Jerusalem in March, 2002, murdering three people. One of the murdered people was Rachel Levy, a high school senior. This is a play about two young girls, a jihad-bomber and her murder victim. On Feb. 18 the Cincinnati Playhouse will put on a stage reading of the canceled play for educators and leaders of the Jewish and Muslim communities in Cincinnati.
