Abstract

To mark the world premiere production of the Arabic stage adaptation of Tolstoy's War and Peace by Theatre for Everybody, which took place in Gaza in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in November and December of 2017, this piece of writing asks what the relevance of this work might be for the people of Gaza and how Tolstoy's novel may throw light on the character and history of war in the contemporary world.
