Actors (Sahkanim)

As written by prominent Israeli playwright Hillel Mitelpunkt, Actors charts a territory that has been examined in many movies, namely the gap between the expectations of idealistic actors and their disillusionment with cruel, unglamorous reality after graduation from school. This is the story of a group of young, optimistic and energetic men and woman who have just finished acting-school. During this critical first year after graduation, instead of reaping the rewards of years of hard work, the young actors must come to terms with the wide gap between their dreams of fame and fortune, and the harsh reality of the professional theatre. The plot develops along various tracks, focusing on a number of characters simultaneously.
