Peter Nichols Passion Play, directed by Ilan Ronen with the participation of Yona Elian-Keshet, Sasson Gabai, Dafna Rechter, Nathan Detner, Miriam Gavrieli and, alternatively, Orna Pitussi/Michal Yanai and Dorit Bar Or, has been staged by the Beit Lessin Theatre in Tel Aviv. The play deals with the sexual passion that overcomes James (Gabai), a man in his 50s, married to Eleanor (Elian-Keshet). The object of James's passion is Kate, an extroverted, immoral young woman. This passion symbolizes the uncontrollable desire to preserve one's youth, to escape maturity and certainly old age, and to rekindle feelings that have languished during the years of a congenial and too comfortable marriage.
