A one-woman show depicting Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir during the harrowing first days of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when she faced the existential decision of whether to deploy nuclear weapons. Through flashbacks to her childhood in Milwaukee, her idealistic early years in Palestine, and her rise to power, Golda confronts the moral weight of leadership. The play explores how a grandmother from the Midwest became one of the most consequential leaders of the twentieth century.
