Reviews

This unique volume assembled by playwright Houssami [is] welcome and necessary... Underlying the volume is a sense of the necessary. This is the power of theater giving voice to the voiceless, whether in the streets of Syria after the 1973 war, in US college theaters experiencing a solo performance about a Palestinian American living in Palestine for a year, or in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. ... remarkably topical and relevant... fascinating. Highly recommended. -- K.J. Wetmore, Jr., CHOICE
