From the JW3 announcement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“On the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, JW3 presents a rehearsed reading of The Promise<\/em>, a play dramatising this momentous historical moment.<\/p>\n

November 2, 1917. The Balfour Declaration is signed, signalling the British government’s support for a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. It’s the beginning of World War I and Herbert Samuel – the first practising Jew ever to sit in a British Cabinet – dreams of using British power to back a return of the Jews to Palestine. His cousin and fellow Cabinet member, Edwin Montagu, is implacably opposed to the idea. Politics, religion and love collide with explosive effect in Ben Brown’s acclaimed play about the origins of Israel.<\/p>\n

Directed by Richard Beecham.”<\/p>\n
