Not a Word to Mom - Beit Lessin Theater

Not a Word to Mom. Not a Word to Mom – a new Israeli play by Noam Gil, an anti-romantic comedy, funny to the point of tears. Director: Udi Gotshalk. Cast: Limor Goldstein, Moli Shulman, Hai Maor, Keren Mor Mishori, Adi Tzemach, Shachnai Dali. When Nurit painfully discovers that her husband is cheating on her, instead of harsh words directed at her mother, she decides to take a drastic step: she invites the lover's husband and asks him to join her in an open confrontation to defend their trampled honor. Nurit is torn between the desire for revenge and a heavy sense of humiliation, and comes up with a plan that seems almost unthinkable. But instead of the cheating couple showing up at the meeting place, it is Nurit's teenage daughter and her young partner who arrive – having just experienced their first night of love together, full of excitement and confusion. This unexpected presence throws Nurit's revenge plans into disarray. During the meeting, instead of taking revenge on her husband, Nurit finds herself facing hard questions that cut to the heart of her own truth – questions her daughter poses clearly and mercilessly, shedding light on dark corners of the mother's soul. Nurit finds herself pulled between two important forces in her life: on one hand, the wish to be a worthy example for her daughter, and on the other, the inner fire to take revenge on her husband, who is only seeking his own satisfaction. Finally, when the unfaithful husband himself shows up, accompanied by his lover, the whole picture changes completely: the small meeting suddenly turns into a surreal comedy full of one mistake after another, in which truth blends with lies and accusations pass from hand to hand like raging flames. And the question is – will these three couples manage to untangle the emotional and romantic knot woven around them, and rediscover the romance lost in their lives? And if they do – what price will they have to pay for it?
