Born in Bethlehem by Al-Harah Theatre (Palestine)
 
A unique opportunity to see Palestinian theatre in UK.
 
'Born in Bethlehem' is a new piece of work devised by Al-Harah, themselves based in Beit Jala, close to Bethlehem. The play takes the  form of a guided tour through Bethlehem, with the audience as the sight-seers.  The tour includes a performance of the Nativity story. But the characters of  Mary and Joseph soon encounter all the problems of present day Palestinians:  the dividing wall and security checks.

America-Mideast Educational and Training Services, Inc aims to strengthen mutual understanding and cooperation between Americans and the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa.
