Walking into Theatre 1, a semi-thrust playhouse seating about 300 people, at Tzavta, a centre for fringe theatre in downtown Tel Aviv, the audience espies an actor in a green tree suit downstage left, engulfed by highly dramatic lighting. Oh, no, not another Disney production! Actually far from it - the characters in fancy costumes in this opening scene are enthusiastically searching for the killer o....
