Summary

Sixteen Wounded is a play told with both humor and heart wrenching honesty, which revolves around the fateful colliding of two seemingly disparate lives – a lonely, emotionally remote Jewish baker, and a passionate, young Palestinian far from home. A friendship evolves as the two men struggle with their personal identities and their loyalties – to their past, their beliefs, and, finally, to each other. But can this relationship stave off the inevitable?
