The play "Love at the End of the Tunnel," inspired by the story of hostage survivors Keith and Aviva Siegel, will premiere this week at the Habima Theatre, exactly three years after the start of the war. The characters are portrayed by actors Moni Moshonov and Sandra Sadeh, who are a couple in real life. The two told i24NEWS reporter Noy Ben Artzi about their collaborative work with the Siegels, the documentary-style play that moves between past and present, and the chills and excitement they felt while watching the piece. Keith Siegel described watching the play as an overwhelming and moving experience, and spoke about the difficult time in captivity, including 12 days he spent on a staircase in a school, promising his mother and Aviva that he would return alive. Aviva Siegel added that the play represents not only their personal story, but the story of all the hostages and the entire country. The show was initiated by Eitan Schwartz and written by Michal.
