WILDFIRE

ABOUT THE PLAY

Wildfire is a moving play by Israeli author and actress Mor Antar about a young girl's coming of age in Israel.

Caroline's head is on fire. She turns twelve next month and doesn't understand what's going on. Why is everyone making such a big deal out of her growing up? How on earth is she supposed to get through it with a father who doesn't understand her, with classmates who gang up on her, and without a mother she's never known? Under the pressure of circumstances, the girl loses her head and resorts to violence. As a result, she begins to reassess her life. Wildfire is a touching drama about searching and finding.
