Violence haunts the four Palestinian women occupying an anteroom of the afterlife…these souls in Samuel Beckett-like transit are The Black Eyed which happens to be the title of Betty Shamieh’s provocative theater piece.” International Herald Tribune “A chillingly beautiful piece about the relationship between seduction and violence!”San Francisco Weekly “From its first words, Shamieh’s play grabs you and won’t let go.” Oakland Tribune “Shamieh’s writing is thoughtful, her perspective informed.”The New York Times

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

This collection includes one full-length play, THE BLACK EYED, and one short play, ARCHITECTURE. THE BLACK EYED: Four Arab women from across the ages meet in the afterlife. As these characters - who include the Biblical Delilah and a secular modern Arab-American - struggle to come to terms with their lives and their choices, this shockingly funny play skewers traditional views on sex, family, and terrorism. ARCHITECTURE: A short play based on the character of the Architect from the play THE BLACK EYED. "A gorgeously conceived and realized drama ... [Shamieh's] theatrical imagination, in its agility and its urgency, brings to mind Tony Kushner, whose faith in eloquence as an instrument of change is echoed here." -The New Yorker "Shamieh's writing is powerful!
