Description

“Because love will always carve you up eventually.” Jealous love sears the skin of this darkly comic play like lava seeping down a hillside, inevitable and all-consuming. A chance meeting of a pair of young Arab-Americans framed by their refugee experience and an impossibly rich patroness sets in motion a chain of events that leads to a violent crime. As tensions mount and relationships are shattered, a therapist (who’s grappling with her own marital issues) is hired by the defense to determine culpability. Award-winning playwright and 2025 recipient of the Laurents/Hatcher Foundation Citation of Excellence Yussef El Guindi explores immigrant lives in plays praised for “insightful, open-hearted…humor, warmth and all-around compassion” (Seattle Times).
