Beit Lessin Theatre – since 1980 it has been one of the most prominent repertoire theatres in Israel. Only in 1996 it was awarded 10 prizes of the Israeli Theatre Academy, including the one for the best theatrical production of the year. The thaeatre mostly present contemporary drama.
“Kidush” was written and directed for Beit Lessin by Shmuel Has’fari. It is a family drama with political implications which gives a picture of the disintegrated and hypocritical average Israeli Middle Class family that destroys – if not questions the image of Israel as the monolithic state, and society having a coherent outlook upon life.
