"Everyone should see Golda's Balcony." Elie Wiesel

Indeed, William Gibson's Golda's Balcony peers though the heart and mind of one grand woman, Golda Meir. She bridged the 19th and 20th centuries as she and her family fled Czarist Russia for the dream of freedom in America. Then captured by the idealism of Zionism, she sailed back to create her own dream: a Jewish Homeland. First as a pioneer in Palestine, then as a worker in the Jewish party, she rose to become Israel's Prime Minister in 1969.

Set against the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Golda tells her story from her executive office. She weaves the past and present, as memories of her family warm against the steel explosives. It was she who steered Israel through the horrific Arab-Israeli crisis, waving her “flag” from “her balcony” and commandeering her generals and troops to the globally-stunning Victory.

If Israel lives its because Golda lived. Golda's Balcony is a one-act, one-woman performance that will pierce your soul. Her blood and sweat are in the fabric of which Israel was created. The play’s message can be summed up in Golda’s final words as she reaches out to her audience in her final moments and beseeches, “Shalom, Shalom...Shalom.”

Today , more than ever, the world needs to hear Golda’s words, to understand the one true friend America has in the Middle East, and to reach for peace together.
