What it means to be Palestinian / Music for Film, TV and Games

By Shay Zeller on Monday, February 13, 2006.

A new theater production at the University of New Hampshire tries to uncover what it means to be a Palestinian today. The play's script is flexible to adapt to up-to-the-minute news from the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and all the dialogue is ripped from recent blog entries and news articles found all across the internet. We'll talk with the man behind the play. David Kaye is head of Acting and Directing for UNH's Department of Theatre and Dance.

We'll also talk with musician Bob Lord of the band Dreadnaught about his new solo CD of music he's created for Film, TV and Video Games. It's aptly titled Audio for Film TV and Games.
