Best Friends

Rattlestick Theater, New York City

Only a matter of life and death could bring Sophie, Tirzah and Lelly back into each other’s lives. Two years after ending a friendship of over 20 years, these ex-best friends are forced to re-examine their entire relationship – from the highest of highs to the low point that ended it all. Shifting back and forth between their youth and present-day adulthood, Best Friends takes us through an emotional roller coaster with brutal honesty, humor and a lot of heart.

The play will be presented in both Hebrew and English on alternating nights for two weeks March 22nd – April 2nd with an amazing cast of local Israeli actresses. 

Written by Israeli playwright and screenwriter Anat Gov (1953-2012), Best Friends was the longest-running comedy in Israel and won the prestigious Israel National Theater Award for Best Comedy in 1999.
