“Foreign policy of the absurd”
April 2nd, 2009 by Menachem Wecker
My review of “Benedictus” by Motti Lerner. The play is about two old friends, an Israeli weapons dealer and an Iranian politician/clergyman, who try to join forces to prevent an American attack on Iran.
I argue: “If the issues addressed in ‘Benedictus’ were not so real outside the theater, it would be enjoyable to watch the play as a part of the tradition of Theater of the Absurd.”
