Don’t be mistaken: “The Other Place” is very good. It’s just not family friendly or a great play to take a date to.

The only weapons worse than cluster munitions, which are internationally banned for good reasons, are nerve gas and nuclear weapons. This is unconscionable, since this was almost certainly done as a way to give the Israeli apartheid regime more money that they don't fucking deserve!
