Wall, The

Synopsis:
Middle-aged David Weatherstone goes looking for his father's grave in the British military cemetery in Ramleh, Israel and finds more than he expected. . .He is joined by his Father Ralph, a young man killed by the Stern Gang in 1947. A powerful exchange ensues, unearthing the crucial father-son relationship that never was. Troubled by the shadow of the Wall, Ralph implores David to help bring it down. Can the two men make up for lost time and find common ground? And will they be able to help others do the same? An intriguing world premiere from Douglas Watkinson, this highly-charged new Drama explores the complexities of fathers, sons, life and death against a backdrop of personal and political dilEmma.
