Review: House, Divided @ InterAct in Philadelphia
"This is not our country. It belongs to the anointed goyim." Although "House, Divided" seems to be about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, it's really about the America/Israel conflict over the allegiances of American Jews. Like so many American plays, Larry Loebell's drama is about fathers, sons and brothers. And being an all-male play, it's also about the very male issues of war and honor. Surprisingly evenhanded and satisfyingly complex, the drama doesn't waste our time in pushing our buttons, despite the number of hot-button topics it addresses.
