The Haifa Theatre

Cast: Shlomo Bar Aba, Yael Tal, Ravit Yaakov Cohen, Yuval Segal / Kobi Zislin, Omer Etzion, and Ayelet Robinson
The story takes place in Israel in 1958, a decade after the establishment of the State of Israel. Elimelech and his wife Shifra are former kibbutz members. When their daughter Ayala is about to get married, she asks them for their ketubah, a document necessary for the young couple's wedding arrangements. Unfortunately, the parents can't find their marriage contract or remember whether they were adequately married. Realizing that without the ketubah, Ayala will be unable to marry Robert, Elimelech has to ask Shifra to marry him, but she decides to use the opportunity to reconsider.

- Reviews:"Bar Aba steals the show, no question, and the music is central in molding the journey-to-the-past atmosphere. All actors on stage perform their parts well, and with its meandering, funny plot, the play runs from one burst of laughter to the other. You cannot beat Kishon." (Yuval Erel's Blog)
