Iris Bahr’s new play, Dai (Enough), is an effort in dramatic irony from beginning to end. In a Tel Aviv café, a reporter, described in the script as “an androgynous, uber-intellectual, icy, well-groomed British reporter,” Christiane Saloniki, interviews coffee drinking patrons – mere minutes before a homicide bomber enters the café. The audience watches the characters state their final words (unbeknownst to them) before dying, one at a time. The play then is a series of soliloquies in which a diverse array of characters, both Israeli and Palestinian, tell their life stories.
