Sophie, Tirzah and Lelly met in their high school bathroom in the late 1960s. From that inauspicious beginning, a life-long friendship was born. Now, twenty years later, these best friends are brought together when Sophie and Tirzah have not spoken to one another for nearly two years, and Lelly tries to reconcile the two by bringing them to discuss “a matter of life and death.” The friends are seen in all phases of their lives and friendship, with flashbacks throughout the years starting from their youth until their forties. 

Told with humor, heart and biting wit in scenes that go back and forth in time, Best Friends is about three women who are forced to examine their friendship and discover themselves in the process. Israeli Artists Project presents the New York premiere of the longest-running comedy in Israel and winner of the prestigious Israel National Theater Award for Best Comedy in 1999.

Separate performances will be presented by the same actors in both English and Hebrew with no supertitles.
