Shmuel Hasfari

Shmuel Hasfari (b. 1954, Tel Aviv, Israel) was born to a religious family. He began to study theater at Tel Aviv University, but he left the university along with a group of students who in 1981 performed at the Alternative Theater Festival in Acre. The next year they received first prize. Hasfari is considered one of Israel's leading playwrights. His works are controversial, due to the harsh image of Israeli society reflected in his plays.
