!! '''''Rehearsals''''' provides examples of the following tropes:tropes:
* ActorAllusion: Vera and Maya have a brief discussion about the play ''{{Theatre/Medea}}'' and what it takes to play the title character. Medea was a breakout role in Israeli theater for Evgenia Dodina, Vera’s actress.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Razi, Iris’ brother, is InnocentlyInsensitive and tends to fixate on things to the point of annoyance. He seems to be somewhere on the autism spectrum, but it’s never stated outright.
* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler:Did Iris and Tomer get back together at the end of season 1?]]
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Ofer to Iris. Later, [[spoiler: Tomer to Iris.]]
* BigBeautifulWoman: Alma, the actress who is cast as Nina in Grushowsky’s ''Theatre/TheSeagull''. Grushowsky apparently preferred her to Maya due to her less-conventional looks, among other things.
* BottleEpisode: Episode 6 takes place almost entirely in the theater, over the course of a few chaotic hours.
* BrainlessBeauty: Maya is a rather realistic version. She’s not TooDumbToLive or anything, but certainly not very bright.
* TheCameo:
** Famous stage actress Gila Almagor appears as the Minister of Culture in episode 6.
** The lawyer in episode 9 is played by Noam Semel, director general of a real life major national theater.
* CastingCouch: Subverted. Shlomo tells Maya that in order for her to play Nina, the eccentric director of the ''The Seagull'' requires her and Shlomo (who plays the male lead) to have sex. Maya braces herself only for Shlomo to [[{{Troll}} burst out laughing and call her an idiot for believing him.]]
* CatharticScream: Iris tries to invoke this by having her brother drive her to a remote location so she can scream out her anguish over the breakup. Like everything else in the series, it doesn’t go exactly as planned.
* CringeComedy: Loads and loads of it. One of the first scenes is of Iris falling asleep during sex, and it only goes downhill from there.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Ofer sneaks off to the bathroom a lot. Played pretty seriously, since it’s part of his debilitating sex addiction.
* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Star director Grushowsky is fluent only in German. Nobody thinks he’s stupid for it, but it makes the business of directing a play with a non-German-speaking cast a tad awkward.
* ExtremeLibido: Ofer. Later in the season he’s identified outright as a sex addict.
* FountainOfMemes: The series as a whole generated a flood of memes in Israeli social media.
* FreudianExcuse: Not explored in-depth, but Ofer seems to have some major daddy issues. It has to do with the fact that his father apparently cheated on his mother with her sister.
* TheGenericGuy: Reut appears to be an amiable non-entity.
* AGirlInEveryPort: Grushowsky describes his assistant/interpreter Kasha as having a guy at every port. While Kasha is somewhat of an EthicalSlut, the mean description seems to stem from [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]].
* GrumpyOldMan: Veteran actor Shlomo tends to bitch a lot about the good bad old days, and causes scenes when he feels he’s not shown due respect.
* InnocentBigot: Stage manager Sarel displays some casual racism towards Mizrahi Ofer, assuming he’s not familiar with Tel Aviv and recommending restaurants that will fit his “style”. Ofer, who lives in Tel Aviv, is noticeably chilly towards Sarel afterwards.
* IronLady: Vera Kurkin to a T.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Maya’s defining character trait. Tomer also has his moments.
* {{McLeaned}}: Ofer’s hopes to return to the TV series are shattered when his character, which was previously PutOnABus, is KilledOffScreen.
* MentorInSourArmor: Shlomo eventually becomes something like this for Ofer.
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Vera, a great proponent of ToughLove in general, gives Maya a speech to this effect while explaining why Maya [[YouAreNotReady is not ready yet]] for her dream role as Nina in Chekhov’s ''Theatre/TheSeagull''. Maya is apparently too young, beautiful and carefree to play a dramatic lead role.
* MyBelovedSmother: Iris’ overbearing mother, who loudly and tactlessly interferes with her life. She also insists on [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents dragging all her friends to the play’s opening night.]]
* PerformanceAnxiety: On the play’s opening night, Ofer, who has little experience performing in front of a live audience, has a panic attack and runs off-stage during the first scene. He is saved by the PowerOfFriendship, theatrical superstitions, and benzodiazepines.
* PsychoExGirlfriend: In one of her lower points during the season, Iris practically kidnaps Tomer, begs him to come back to her and when he refuses, abandons him on the side of the highway. She gets over it pretty quickly, though.
* RapidFireComedy: How Dovele, the director who replaces Tomer in the production, approaches directing comedy. This contrasts with Tomer, who directed ''One+One'' as a slower, more thoughtful {{dramedy}}.
* RealitySubtext: Noa Koler and Erez Driges, who created the series and star in it, are real-life AmicableExes, and ''One+One'' is a real play they wrote about their relationship (which debuted in 2010). It’s all very meta.
** The set design suggested by Grushowsky, with the pyramid of cardboard boxes and the toilet, is the actual set from the real ''One+One''.
* ScrewYourUltimatum: After a big fight with Iris, Tomer makes the fatal mistake of storming into Vera’s office and giving her a “it’s either her or me” ultimatum. Vera unceremoniously fires him.
* TheShowMustGoOn:
** Maya forgets about an important show and goes to a family meeting half a country away with her phone turned off. Vera and co. scramble to replace her, although she does make it eventually.
** When Ofer has a HeroicBSOD and runs off-stage two minutes into the show, Shlomo rises to the occasion like the seasoned veteran he is and holds the audience’s attention with an impromptu comedy routine while the Ofer situation is resolved backstage.
* ShrinkingViolet: Karina, Vera’s secretary, who speaks in a tiny voice and seems constantly terrified of everything.
* SlapSlapKiss: Yuvi can’t stand Maya’s self-involvement and even publicly berates her for it. They end up having an affair.
* StylisticSuck: From the brief snatches we see, the hit series Maya and Ofer star in is hilariously bad.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Tomer and Iris are forced to work together on the play, even though they are recently broken up and bear quite a few grudges.
* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Sara, the neighbors’ kid who invades Iris’ apartment to watch TV and won’t take a hint (or an outright demand) to leave.
* TomboyishName: Inverted with Reut, which is pretty exclusively a girl’s name. It’s a joke about the region he comes from, which is known for its larger-than-average NewAgeRetroHippie population.
* WorkingWithTheEx: The premise of the series, milked for maximum discomfort.

''Rehearsals'' (''חזרות'') is a 2020 Israeli {{dramedy}}. The first season aired during November-December 2020 in Kan 11 channel. A surprise hit, the channel announced that the series will be renewed for a second season.
Playwright Iris and director Tomer are attempting to sell their play ''One+One'', based on their real-life relationship, to major national theater Hamishkan. After a pitch meeting that seems to go poorly and a big fight, Tomer declares he wants to break up and leaves their apartment… only to be informed that the theater has decided to take the play after all.
Now broken up, Iris and Tomer must work on the play together, while also dealing with various forms of ExecutiveMeddling – first and foremost, the StuntCasting of two popular television actors, Ofer and Maya, in the lead roles.
''Rehearsals'' is describes as an “unromantic comedy”, while also satirizing the fraught, underfunded and underappreciated world of Israeli theater.
