A playful and poignant play about two men who meet every Friday in a north-west London Mikvah, a traditional Jewish pool used for ritual cleansing.
Avi is married but childless. Eitan’s voice is breaking and he’s having wet dreams. At the Mikvah they talk about football, the synagogue choir, women. And as their bond deepens, a transformation begins…
The Mikvah Project premiered at The Yard, London, in 2015, directed by the theatre’s Artistic Director, Jay Miller.
‘Strange, fascinating… beautifully nuanced… Azouz’s script slides between varied narratives, staccato poetry and direct speech. Every moment feels rich with meaning’ - Time Out
