THE ATTACK to Play at the Forum Theatre Arts Center This Weekend, 7/26-28

Amin Jaafari is an Israeli Palestinian surgeon, fully assimilated into Tel Aviv society. He has a loving wife, an exemplary career, and many Jewish friends. But his picture-perfect life is turned upside down when a suicide bombing in a restaurant leaves nineteen dead, and the Israeli police inform him that his wife Sihem, who also died in the explosion, was responsible. Convinced of her innocence, Amin abandons the relative security of his adopted homeland and enters the Palestinian territories in pursuit of the truth. Once there, he finds himself in ever more dangerous places and situations. Determined, he presses on seeking answers to questions he never thought he would be asking.

THE ATTACK, directed and co-written by Ziad Doueiri, is adapted from Yasmina Khadra's international bestseller of the same name. Originally published in 2005, the novel has been translated into more than 40 languages and has won numerous awards worldwide. It will play at the Forum Theatre Arts Center this weekend in Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles. Showtimes are Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.
