Tony Award-winning playwright William Gibson's stirring biographical drama about Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir examines her transformation from Russian immigrant to American schoolteacher to a leader of international politics. The one-woman show follows the trajectory of her life focusing on the 1973 Yom Kippur War, an event in which Israel is attacked by Egypt and Syria. Golda Meir deals with the crisis, a moment that could in fact change world history, while she reflects back on her own rise to power, moving between her life in world politics and recollections of her family and acting out scenes and mimicking voices, from her husband to King Abdullah of Jordan.
