The winner of "The Best Comedy of 2014" Israeli Tony Award and the Israeli Academy Award for Gur Koren for "Playwright of 2014," “The Disabled” is a hard-hitting comedy that centers around the impossible partnership between a crime family and a troupe of disabled actors who are in the middle of rehearsing ”Romeo and Juliet.” “The Sopranos meet The Innocents meet Shakespeare”- The Jerusalem Post.

WON: Gur Koren "Playwright of 2014" for his play "The Disabled" -Israeli Academy award
A theater group of people with disabilities does not manage to raise funds it requires to represent the USA at a theater festival for the disabled in Macedonia. Help comes in the form of a crime family with drug smuggling interests that has to ship an especially large consignment to Macedonia. The impossible partnership between the criminals and the disabled actors. who are in the middle of rehearsing Romeo and Juliet, leads to some zany and absurd situations.
