A thrilling and moving stage adaptation of one of Israel’s bestselling novels in recent years, which was also adapted into a successful television series.
A romantic drama set on the eve of the establishment of the State of Israel. The stirring and poignant story of Luna, known to everyone as “the Beauty Queen of Jerusalem,” a member of a Sephardic Jerusalem family that has lived there for generations.
Luna falls in love with David, an Ashkenazi man who has returned from military service with the Jewish Brigade in Europe. She marries him despite opposition from her mother and grandmother, and comes to see reality clearly when she discovers that the truths of life are far removed from youthful fantasies—and that love has many surprising faces.
