Driver / Painter

by Hillel Mittelpunkt

Mira is a painter. After forty years of an artistic career in South America, she returns to Israel, to the house of her childhood. There she discovers that her brother has died, and that his friend Aaron is living in his place - a lorry driver who lost his memory in an accident. "Driver, Painter" remains to this day one of the plays dearest to my heart. It was written while my father, a painter, was dying, and it is a tribute to him and to the various expressive sides of his character. (Hillel Mittelpunkt)
