The play will be brought to Israel by the American Drama Group Europe and TNT Theatre.
The American Drama Group Europe was founded in 1978 by the American Grantly Marshall living in Munich, Germany.
The group started its way in cooperation with the University of Munich where it put on its first productions, and very quickly caught on and began performing across Germany, Europe and Asia.
The group includes actors from the United State, Britain and France, and puts on shows in French as well.
The group rehearses in New York and London, and its repertoire includes British, American and French classics.
TNT Theatre was founded by Paul Stebbings in 1980, and began collaborating with the American Drama Group Europe in 1993 with a number of big hits peaking at the prize winning production of Hamlet.
