In the newsroom of a failing newspaper, mainly focused on small scandals, an academic article accidentally slips in, leading to a series of comic misunderstandings involving a tycoon, a corrupt politician, a history professor, a young student, and a love story.
Mihail Sebastian, the modern playwright who wrote The Star Without a Name, presents his final play before his tragic death — a work that remains as timely as ever, even more than 70 years later.
From the Reviews:
"Close Theater delivers a sharp, relevant satire, driven by the burning passion in the hearts of its creators and performers… Nitai’s stage interpretation, along with the excellent performance by Close Theater’s actors… This is good theater: creative, refined, yet biting, poor in material but rich in spirit."
— Merav Yudilovitch, HaBama
