As 1948 approaches, a Palestinian boy and his beloved neighbor, the village Rabbi, struggle to maintain their friendship in a village of Jews and Palestinians trying to go about life as usual—until it becomes impossible.
An achingly human story, The Mulberry Tree is a play about Palestine’s past, and a heartbroken but hopeful ode to its future.
Written by longtime collaborators Hanna Eady (born in Palestine) and Edward Mast (born in California), this story shows the painful price of loyalty and betrayal, while honoring the power of memory.
