Abigail is a far-too-young widow – still under forty. On the anniversary of her husband Nir’s death, she meets his best friend Tomer, who reveals Nir’s surprising will: before dying, he handpicked three potential partners for her, in hopes she might find love again. But Abigail’s life is already overwhelming: endless chores, debt, a ten-year-old son struggling with anxiety, and a difficult mother-in-law. Dating is the last thing on her mind. Still, determined to prove she is not consumed by grief, she reluctantly agrees to try. The dates lead to both absurd and moving situations, awakening emotions she has long suppressed. For the first time, Abigail confronts her loss directly, while grappling with the question of whether love can ever fill the void left behind. A bittersweet comedy about life after loss, resilience, and the healing power of humor. The play premiered at Beer Sheva Theatre in July 2024, and has been warmly embraced nationwide, offering audiences a cathartic response to the collective trauma after October 7th.
