17+ Rubber Merchants - a play with songs. By: Hanoch Levin. Directed by: Moria Zarhiya. Starring: Ido Mosery, Lilian Barto, Uri Hochman. Yochanan Zingerbai, a bachelor yearning for love, enters the pharmacy of Bella Berlo, a spinster who likewise longs for love, to buy rubber contraceptives. Out of awkwardness, an intimate conversation develops between them, but then Shmuel Sfarol walks in — he inherited ten thousand condoms from his father and is now trying to get rid of them and turn the inheritance into cash. Shmuel offers Yochanan a discount. Bella offers him love. Yochanan chooses love. Later that same evening, meeting at Bella's home, the love doesn't take hold. Bella is tender in romance but tough in negotiation, and the two part ways. Twenty years pass. Yochanan Zingerbai is now an aging bachelor, still thirsty for love. He returns to Bella Berlo's old pharmacy — she too is now an aging spinster still yearning for love — to buy rubber contraceptives again. Then Shmuel Sfarol turns up at the place too — also an aging bachelor, still trying to get rid of the worn-out rubber stock he has left — and the encounters of the past seem to stir again. They talk non-stop, regret the lives they missed, weave dreams — but as before, they know how to take and don't know how to give. There is no wedding, no love, nothing. And another chance won't come around again. The play contains content of a sexual nature and is recommended for ages 17 and up.
