Hostages & other plays: Sept. 8-11, 2016

“Hostages & other plays”

By Yussef El Guindi

September 8, 2016 - September 11, 2016
Sept. 8, 9, 10 at 7:30 pm, Sept. 11 at 3 pm


Premiered September 2016
Presented by iTheatre Collaborative

ASU West

“Hostages"--Two professors have left their homeland for a war-zone. They are there on a mission of peace, but peace is hard to find when you are chained to a radiator. Yussef El Guindi presents a powerful telling of human behavior at its basest. “Hostages" explores the intricacies of human nature when it is deprived of personal contact and torn from the pleasantries of every day life.

"The Birds Flew In" is a one-woman monologue about an Arab-American mother whose son has been killed while in service to his new country.

"The Tyrant" imagines if a Middle Eastern dictator, who has been deposed and arrested, were ever given the opportunity to speak to an American audience: to give his side of the story.

This collection of plays by one of the foremost Arab-American playwrights offers a look inside ‘the war on terror’ to view the human beings caught up in that bloody conflict.

Donate to iTheatre

Since its beginning, iTheatre has produced theater that was challenging, thought provoking and maybe changed the way you think about theater and what it can be. And that's certainly not going to change. So, in addition to ticket sales, we rely on public and private grants, sponsorships and individual donations from people like you. Even if it's $5 (no donation is too small) or $5000 (no donation is too large), your contribution will make a huge difference onstage at iTheatre.
