I Am Your Spy (a day in the life of Mordechai Vanunu)

(Toured to Calgary, Montreal and Toronto in January/February 2001)

For thirteen years Mordechai Vanunu has been in solitary confinement for blowing the whistle on his country’s secret nuclear weapons program. A technician at Israel’s Dimona Nuclear Facility, Vanunu supplied the London Sunday Times with photographs of its operations. The Israeli government, with the help of a female Mossad agent posing as an American tourist, lured Vanunu to Rome, kidnapped him and illegally took him back to Israel. There he was tried as a traitor, and sentenced to eighteen years in prison. This one man show depicts Vanunu’s isolation and anguish, and his struggle between hope and pessimism, for himself, and for humankind.
