Beit Lessin Theater: "Engagement Party"

A gripping family drama by Hillel Mittelpunkt, one of Israel’s foremost playwrights: for the first time in a decade, one family gathers, trying to cling to the illusion of normalcy and celebrate the youngest daughter’s engagement. Beneath the polite smiles, a pressure cooker of dark secrets, cold interests, and destructive lies is simmering. When a forbidden affair from the past threatens to be exposed and a bribe is put on the table, fateful decisions must be made.

A mesmerizing family thriller that peels back, layer by layer, the complex dilemmas of Israeli society.

Against the backdrop of the war shaking the country, a family gathers at a pastoral guesthouse complex in the north. For the first time in a decade, they are together, trying to cling to the illusion of normalcy and celebrate the youngest daughter’s engagement. Beneath the polite smiles, a pressure cooker of dark secrets, cold interests, and destructive lies is simmering. When a forbidden affair from the past threatens to be exposed and a bribe is put on the table, fateful decisions must be made: Should we remain loyal to the family? To the state? To our partners? To ourselves or to morality? And what price will we pay for each decision?
