Set in present-day Amsterdam, Eliam Kraiem’s Sixteen Wounded is the compelling tale of the unlikely friendship between an aging Jewish baker and the young Palestinian he takes on as his apprentice. In a time where reports of Mid-East violence are commonplace and casualties are often reduced to numbers, emerging artist Eliam Kraiem’s play paints a vivid, compassionate, and deeply moving portrait of human faces. Tony Award winning director Garry Hynes directs a cast that includes two-time Tony winner Judd Hirsch.
