Zohan - Tutte Le Donne Vengono Al Pettine (2025)

Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lynn Nottage’s play “Intimate Apparel” tells the story of a 1905 successful African American seamstress who makes revolutionary undergarments for an array of women – from high-society socialites to enterprising ladies of the night. Her business, innovative skills, and utter discretion are much in demand, but at 35, her personal life has taken a backseat. “Intimate Apparel” explores her forbidden relationships with an Orthodox Jewish fabric vendor, her privileged and struggling clientele, and a long-distance suitor who will profoundly change her life.

  • "Intimate Apparel is ultimately a play about hope, and Arizona Theatre Company’s superb production is a testament to the power of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity... "
    - Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
  • "Tracey N. Bonner’s tour de force performance brings immense depth and gravitas to her role and strikes perfect balances in shaping a character that is possessed of humility, dignity, and tenacity."
    - Herb Paine, Broadway World
  • "Oz Scott’s sharp direction keeps the play gliding along on an exquisite unit set that transforms into the play’s various locales with swift fluidity and definition."
    - Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix
  • "Nottage is a poetic writer and a powerful storyteller. ATC gives her play the production it deserves."
    - Kathleen Allen, Arizona Daily Star
  • "A must-see production."

Zohan - Tutte Le Donne Vengono Al Pettine (2025)

The film follows Zohan Dvir, an Israeli counter-terrorist commando who fakes his own death to pursue his secret passion: becoming a hairstylist in New York City. This premise immediately establishes the film’s central theme of identity beyond conflict. Zohan is a man tired of the cycle of violence, representing a generation of people on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict who wish to define themselves by their talents and dreams rather than their military service or national grievances.

The antagonist of the film is not a rival soldier, but a corporate developer threatening to destroy the neighborhood to build a mall. This shift in villainy is crucial. It forces the rival immigrant groups to realize that their real enemy is the erasure of their community and heritage, not each other. The climax, which sees Zohan and his Palestinian counterpart, Salim, working together, serves as a loud, messy metaphor for grassroots peace. The film follows Zohan Dvir, an Israeli counter-terrorist
