Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

One Armed Man presents the world premiere of Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, a tragicomedy by Adam Klasfeld, at FringeNYC. Set in a fictional town in Arabia, the play follows a middle-aged writer who gets shot in the arm outside of his house, leaving him an amputee. But nobody believes that his arm is missing, fracturing his entire reality. His only source of safety from future attacks comes from an old stone wall supervised by a short but crafty elf, whose job is to tear it down. An oblique commentary on the Mideast conflict, it examines how the fear that terrorism generates can be almost as debilitating as its carnage.

The cast includes former IDF sergeant Donna Abraham (NY: Nora’s Bloke; Israel: Another Antigone), Nick Choksi* (NY: Huck & Holden), Michael De Nola (NY: Lou’s 24/7), Michelle Dingoor (NY: The Reunion; Film: Neighbors), and Roy Edroso.
