This is good theatre. This is great comedy` The Stage

‘This ensemble clearly knows their hammas from their hummous with out taking sides` Evening Standard.

The Arab the Jew and the Chicken is a fun, fast and feisty exploration of the Middle East conflict. A comedy sketch show that weaves together culture, identity and the realities of every-day life in the region… oh and chickens.

What happens when two suicide bombers dig a tunnel in to the office of the deputy head of Israeli security? Or when a Palestinian delegate falls for an Israeli delegate at a UN peace conference?

Formed in October 2006 and sparked by the friendship between a Palestinian refugee and an ex Israeli Army officer, `Conflictrelief` brings together Arab, Israeli Jewish and Muslim actors from diverse theatrical back rounds (acting, dance, clowning, physical theatre, stand up, improvisation) to explore the Middle East conflict through comedy .

`the Arab, the Jew and the Chicken`has already been performed successfully in London, Edinburgh, California and Berlin and will be taking part in an international comedy festival in Luxembourg.
