What Happened to The World

A Touching Comedy

The Cameri Theatre of Tel Aviv

Written by Gur Koren | Directed by Tamar Keenan


Raziya, a seventy-year-old woman who lives on a moshav, and whose dream is basically to have another grandson or two, embarks on a mission to save her son’s marriage, after he leaves home following a bitter argument with his wife. 

She drags her husband Yitzhakal’e along on a crazy adventure of two innocent moshav dwellers in the big city. She isn’t particularly healthy, nor is she young, but her maternal worries give her strengths of which she herself was unaware. 

The new comedy by Gur Koren (Romeo and Mom, Don’t Fight) sets a collision course between a woman who just wants to see her family happy, and her kids, the younger generation, who might be ruling the world, but don’t necessarily know what to do with it. 

A recipient of the Tamar Rudich Award for Playwright of the Year, and the Rabinovich Foundation Yosef Millo Award for Director of the Year.

Gur Koren is the dramaturg of The Cameri Theatre of Tel Aviv, and a recipient of the Israeli Theatre Awards Playwright of the Year, 2014. Writing credits include: at The Cameri Theatre of Tel Aviv, Don’t Fight and Romeo and Mom (written with Gilad Kimchi); at Beit Lessin Theatre, The Actress and The Disabled (Israeli Theatre Awards Comedy of the Year); and at Gesher Theatre, Five Kilos of Sugar (directed by Yevgeny Arieh). Plays performed abroad: The Disabled, Teatro Sala Umberto, Rome, Italy; Kladno Municipal Theatre, Czech Republic; and Wort und Spiel Ensemble, Switzerland.
