Description A horrifying true story serves as the inspiration for one of the best known and most successful Israeli plays ever written. Games in the Backyard explores the case of gang rape tried in the Israeli courts, which aroused wide public debate and emotion. An emotionally charged, dramatic and chilling play, Games in the Backyard will leave you questioning your judgment about a case that is not black and white.
