it's live: basra-boston at 191 highland ave

'Last Saturday, the Fort Point Theatre Channel artistic collective produced my play, Brides Look Forward, alongside Amy Merrill's absurdist drama In the Reeds.

The plays were of wildly different styles, but I don't think Amy and I could have been more pleased with the results: it was an engaging, interdisciplinary evening of performances, with live music, sounds streamed in from Iraq, and poetry in both English and Arabic.

You have one more chance to catch the Basra-Boston pieces as a collective: Friday, November 4, 2016, 8 pm, at the Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Avenue, Somerville, Massachusetts.

In response to reading on October 1st, I have 'adjusted' my play a bit. Many thanks to the excellent Kathryn Howell, who has cast and directed the piece each step of the away!

Fort Point Theatre Channel's Marc Miller has done most of the hard labour of producing the show thus far--I do not think this project could have happened without his help, and I deeply appreciate his kindness and hospitality.
