“THE TRAP” PLAY

The Trap – an ambush, a deliberate attempt to seduce the prey through promises and threats. Suddenly the prey finds itself caught in the jaws of the trap, unable to see a way to escape or retreat.

 Basem, a Palestinian child, is a model of Israeli intelligence operations to turn Palestinian children into collaborators who betray their people, contradicting all human values, international laws and conventions. Will Basem fall into the trap?
