Six Drafts of a Scene
from Reading Hebron
Jason Sherman wrote Reading Hebron over the period of two years.
The script went through many changes over the process of writing and
rewriting. We've illustrated the rewriting process in a scene that Jason
calls "Palestine House." It is one of the scenes that appeared
in every stage of development, and one that underwent considerable changes
as the process of writing went along.
