Golda's Balcony

Golda's Balcony
by William Gibson
Coming to Prescott in 2009

Golda Meir, First Woman Prime Minister of Israel

The rise of Golda Meir from impoverished Russian schoolgirl to prime minister of
Israel is one of the most amazing stories of the 20th century. Now her life has been
transformed into a play of overwhelming power and inspirational triumph
by William Gibson, author of The Miracle Worker.

“Enlightening…Now, hearing from someone who was there at the birth of the country,
who sacrificed to make that happen, helps remind us where the Middle East standoff
came from and why it seems never to end.”---The New York Times

“Golda’s Balcony offers a vigorous portrayal of the iron-willed prime minister.”
---Variety

“Golda’s Balcony may be the worthiest…powerful and undeniably moving…Meir is a
bluntly passionate woman whose struggle to balance duty and humanism
demands our attention.”---Newsday

“You’ll be moved to laughter and tears.”---The Forward

World premiere of Golda’s Balcony was produced at Shakespeare & Company,
Lenox, MA, in 2002.

The New York premiere was at the Manhattan Ensemble Theater in 2003
with Tovah Feldshuh playing Golda.

Valerie Harper took the play on a national tour in 2005/06.

And now Gail Mangham will assay the role of Golda in Prescott, Arizona.

Watch for the announcement of venue and time for this remarkable play.
