"THE FOOL AND THE REFUGEE: Hamlet once said the goal of theater is “to hold as ‘twere the mirror up to nature.” Independent actor and director Dori Engel takes this motif to heart in his one-man show “Now I am Alone” at Tel Aviv’s Tmu-Na Theater next Saturday. The project is a collaboration with English director Nick Hutchinson, who has worked with the Globe and the Royal Shakespeare Company, Engel told Haaretz. “We came up with idea of making a collage of Shakespeare outsiders – the exiled king, fool, refugee,” said Engel, who just returned from a well-reviewed run in London. He said Shakespeare seemingly wanted to say something about society through the outsider’s eyes. The messages, such as a speech by Sir Thomas More in which he makes a mob “look through the eyes of the refugees,” remain relevant. “You hear it as if it were written yesterday.” For more info, call Tmu-Na (03) 561-1211."
