64 minutes ago ‘Casual brutality’: playwright Amy Jephta on Cape Town and shared histories of land ownership

The writer of A Good House explains how her new play explores notions of belonging, suburban living and community politicsPlaywright, screenwriter and director Amy Jephta has spent her career exploring the contradictions of belonging in post-apartheid South Africa. Her landmark film Barakat made history as the first feature filmed entirely in Afrikaaps, a uniquely South African dialect blending Afrikaans with other linguistic influences. Jephta’s latest work looks at the complex intersections of property, privilege and identity in modern Cape Town. In A Good House, her provocative new play for London’s Royal Court theatre and Bristol’s Old Vic, a shack mysteriously appears in the middle of a quaint suburban community, causing consternation among the residents. At the centre of the play is the question that echoes throughout Jephta’s work: “To whom does the land belong? Who gets to call it mine?”*** Conti...

Israeli PM expected to begin discussions on second phase of ceasefire with Hamas ahead of Trump meetingBenjamin Netanyahu, who was one of the first to congratulate Donald Trump when he beat Kamala Harris in the November US presidential election, has called the Republican president the “best friend Israel has ever had in the White House”.During Trump’s first term, he delivered significant diplomatic wins for the Israeli prime minister, including recognising Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019 and supporting the Abraham accords with Gulf states.On Trump’s side is the apparent desire to have quiet in the Middle East to pursue his policy of widening the 2020 Abraham accords – in which Israel established relations with Bahrain, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates during his first term – to include Saudi Arabia.Saudi Arabia has made clear that any progress depends on an end to the conflict in Gaza or the establishment of a path towards Palestinian statehood.

An intriguing study of Lorenzo Perrone, the bricklayer who helped the famous author survive Auschwitz – then lost the will to liveWhen Primo Levi, the Turin-born chemist and nuanced chronicler of the human condition, pondered quite how he had survived Auschwitz, he gave the credit to a gruff bricklayer called Lorenzo Perrone: “not so much for his material aid”, he wrote, “as for his having constantly reminded me by his presence, by his natural and plain manner of being good, that there still existed a just world outside our own, something and someone still pure and whole, not corrupt, not savage, extraneous to hatred and terror for which it was worth surviving”.Perrone was, like Levi, from Piedmont (in north-western Italy), but he wasn’t a prisoner: he was one of the workers outside the camp. He passed Levi bread, soup and clothing, he wrote postcards to Italy on his behalf and brought Levi the replies. “For all this he neither asked nor accepted any reward,” Levi wrote in If This I...

6 hours ago Trump 2.0 is exposing American exceptionalism for what it is – and has always been | Nesrine Malik

Guantánamo Bay? Imperialism? Alliances with billionaires? Those shocked at the president’s early moves have forgotten what came beforeThe dust briefly settled, only for it to be kicked up once again. Donald Trump’s flurry of executive orders – causing chaos on everything from foreign aid to world trade – is rapidly rocking and reshaping domestic and foreign policy. And the temptation is, yet again, to think of Donald Trump as an exogenous shock to US democracy. But look closer, and you will see not a rogue president taking a hammer to a hitherto stable political order, but a history of the erosion of norms that paved the way for him.Political norms are the scaffolding of democracy, enforced not by the law, but by a sort of social consensus. They are not codified, strict mechanisms for regulating political facts – such as the separation of powers – but the agreement that such things should be respected and observed. A clear case in point is the president’s ability to issue pardons. A...
