This week's episode features Arri Lawton Simon and Janine McGuire, writers of the new musical Borders. It's the story of a closeted Palestinian man, who falls in love with an Israeli soldier, in the early 2000s during the Second Intifada, a time of intensified Israeli-Palestinian violence. Developed at the Johnny Mercer Foundation Writers Grove at Goodspeed, this new musical examines the borders we construct within society and within ourselves.
