Abstract

This repertory-dramatic study examines the portrayal of Arab characters in Hebrew drama on both stage and TV. It delves into the exploration of ‘mixed’ love stories, initially within the realm of theatre and later extending into Israeli television drama since the 1990s. The scope of this study encompasses a range of plays, theatrical performances, and television dramas spanning the years 1912–2023. It places particular emphasis on ‘key’ dramas that have played a pivotal role in shaping the content and dramatic representations of conflicts, often sparking public debates, such as Allah Karim (1912), Na’im (1978), Two Minutes from Fureidis (2002), and Madrasa (2023). Madrasa appears to be potentially groundbreaking comedy series that addresses important social and cultural issues in an engaging and entertaining manner.
