Tell Her The Truth

is the title of a piece in The Nation by Tony Kushner and Alisa Solomon, on Seven Jewish Children: A Play For Gaza, by British playwright Caryl Churchill.

The play is ten minutes long and utterly, utterly brilliant in its compression and power. It could be a spoken word piece. You can read it in full online.

Kushner and Solomon take on the virulent attacks on Churchill from Zionists in Britain and the US, and dismantle them more cogently than anyone else could. I've blogged before about Kushner's response to Zionist censorship. This latest essay also says some very valuable things about the power of theatre and the creation of meaning through performance.
