CONVICTION
Theatre O Boulder, CO
In Franco's 1960s Madrid, an Israeli scholar is detained and questioned by a Spanish official for stealing a confidential Inquisition file. Together, interrogator and interrogated become drawn to the file's wrinkled yellow pages and unravel the ill-fated love affair between the converted Spanish priest, Andreas Gonzalez (1446-1486), and his Jewish wife, Isabel.
"Powerful and impressive theatrical experience - a wonderful show ... a bouquet of compliments!" Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot
"Gripping, brilliantly acted story that brings to life the Inquisition's human cost." David Shneer, Director of Jewish Studies, University of Colorado
"Oren Neeman's Conviction tells a fascinating story about the Spanish Inquisition and the 1486 persecution of Andreas Gonzalez, a Catholic priest a member of a family that had been forced to convert from Judaism ... who finds his way back to his own religion through the love of a Jewish woman. One of the great strengths of Ami Dayan, who directed and also plays the priest, is an extraordinary intensity, the sense that worlds of meaning lie behind the words he speaks. One of the most potent actors in the area, and also one of the most imaginative and authoritative directors." - Juliet Wittman, WESTWORD
