The Vermont Peace/Antiwar Coalition (VPAC), including the Burlington branch of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, is pleased to sponsor a dramatic reading of an original play by one of our members, Crystal Zevon, called One Family in Gaza. This non-fiction drama is based on the friendship between Zevon and a young father in the Gaza Strip. The story is told through their correspondence since the fall of 2023, reflecting Zevon’s efforts to help the family, intertwined with short news reports that give context to the letters. The main focus is the messages received from the young father which, while telling a story that in some ways reflects universal truths about living through any war, offers insights into this particular conflict. Not unlike The Diary of Anne Frank, the piece is a rare telling of a war experience in real time, calling upon us to never forget our common humanity.
