ABRAHAM’S DAUGHTERS (THEATRE)


Emma Goldman-Sherman, Abraham’s Daughters. Although Abraham is a Jew from Flushing, and he only has one daughter, Maxine, and her only daughter Racie is a lesbian, Abraham still believes he'll be the Father of Nations. He moves to Tel Aviv in search of his first love, Haajar. When he discovers Haajar's daughter has five Palestinian Muslim sons, he goes to Nablus in the midst of the first Intifada to claim them as his own. Abraham's Daughters is a mythic play about colonialism and identity.

Emma Goldman-Sherman has been produced in the US, UK, Europe, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Her work toured the US as part of The Every 28 Hours Plays, a response to Ferguson. She earned an MFA from U of Iowa where she received the Maibaum Award for plays addressing social justice. Abraham's Daughters is based on her documentation of human rights abuses in Gaza and the West Bank during the first Intifada. Member: Dramatists Guild.
