Lit.: anonym: Lights of Jericho by Haya Husseini. In web ABC, květen 2010 (anotace). – Cit.: This is a play about Palestinians, about their subjection to tragedy in the past and about their struggle today. It draws together the details of everyday life and the epic horrors of war and death, the personal and universal. (…)

Lit.: anonym: Lights of Jericho. In web ABC, duben 2009 (anotace). – Cit.: ‚Those of us in hiding. Those of us locked up. Those of us.’

From her home in Australia the author writes about the place of her origins, a play about Palestinians, those lost and those keeping memories alive. Stories are told. The nature of storytelling is explored—fantasy, fiction, recollection, reality—forever being recreated, reworded, replayed.

The drama does not lay blame or spotlight victims (there are reckless civilians and sympathetic soldiers) but records fragments about a people’s life, told by women of the intifada. And perhaps, on another level, their story is a metaphor for something universal, something which touches us all.

Winner of the 1994 Prix Italia for fiction, Haya Husseini’s play retains its strenght and importance today. (…)
