"I'm very happy about the reception Crossroads has had so far. I wanted to create a show that is both dramatic and humorous that would take viewers away from everyday worries and the political discourse. In the end, it's all about the people we love, the losses we suffer, and the hope we have for better times ahead."Crossroads, playwright and producer, Israela Margalit.
