Is inheritance fair? — A fast-paced comedy about the two extremes of the social distribution debate: unemployment benefit and wealth tax.

Does it help during a life crisis to sit in your SUV and ponder the real estate holdings and bank accounts of your parents and grandparents? In her new work, “Jeeps,” writer and director Nora Abdel-Maksoud explores a deep social need for security. Her work examines the structural conditions of a society where class differences are simultaneously consolidated and denied. With great precision, and building to a satirical climax, Abdel-Maksoud dissects our thoughts and actions on the basis of account balances, will readings, and perceived threats.

Press Reviews

“Still, there is no doubt about the talents and charisma of the four actors who embellish Abdel-Maksoud’s firecracker dialogue and simple, unadorned staging — a far cry from Stone’s and Okada’s more stylish productions — with verbal and physical high jinks. The Kammerspiele clearly has a hit on its hands.”

“The bright lunacy, organized by four formidable actors in turbo-speak, who have great timing and madness. They form a quartet of punchlines in a furious exchange of blows.”

“Serious debate becomes entertaining entertainment that deals with the contradiction between the altruistic redistribution debate and the selfish actions of the individual with humor. With Nora Abdel-Maksoud, the fun doesn’t stop with money, no, it starts in a bitter way.”

“With its ludicrous plot, ‘Jeeps’ puts its finger deep into the repressed wounds of a middle-class society whose prosperity is often based on rich inheritances and by no means so clearly on the much-cited achievement.”
