The Human Scale

Written and performed by Lawrence Wright, directed by Oskar Eustis, produced by the Public Theater (2010)

Following up on his New Yorker essay, "Captives," Wright performed this unsparing and graphic exploration of the ongoing crisis in Gaza during a sold-out run in New York City in October 2010, as well as appearing at the legendary Cameri Theatre in Tel Aviv, Israel, in May 2011.

According to The New York Times, "The journalist Lawrence Wright possesses a knack for clarifying complicated problems.
