22 MINUTES REMAINING eavesdrops on Myriam and Gilad, unwilling adversaries
caught up in the tides of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon War. With the clock ticking
down on a literal deadline, twenty-two minutes will decide the fates of
one soldier's conscience and one woman's life. "Plunges us deep into
the farce of warfare...playwright Ignacio Zulueta mines the absurdity of
abiding by polite codes of behavior, while sirens shatter the ear."
- Karen D'Souza, The Mercury News
