This book is a contribution to the emerging field of research-based performance, which seeks to gain a wider audience for issues that are crucial to our understanding of history and to informing our future actions. The book examines the role of theater in portraying the Shoah in France, the French Resistance, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Each of the three chapters consists of an original dramatic work by the author and an accompanying critical essay. Inez Hedges is Emerita Professor of Cultures, Societies and Global Studies at Northeastern University, Boston, USA. Her play "Children of Drancy" was performed in 2007 as part of an advanced undergraduate learning community. She wrote "Kafka in Palestine" in 201719 while a Resident Scholar at the Womens Studies Research Center at Brandeis University, Waltham.
