A comedy play about a cleaner who becomes a fictional candidate for mayor. The play is at the Cameri Theatre, Tel Aviv; the performance date was not specified.
A sharp and moving comedy about a determined woman who doesn’t take kindly to dirt: the local elections are approaching, and the powerful, long-serving mayor, Moshe Schwartzman, is worried that no candidate dares to run against him. Without an opponent, there is no campaign, and without a campaign, the donors’ wallets remain closed. Besides, people might start calling him a dictator.

So what do they do? In order to create the appearance of a fair election campaign, they must find a fictitious candidate—someone “whose family alone would vote for her, and even they would hesitate first.” When the cleaner enters the office and starts cleaning, it is clear to everyone that the perfect candidate has been found. The cleaner’s name is Ilana. And she is here to stay!
