Set in South Lebanon, HOW HIS BRIDE CAME TO ABRAHAM is a soaring love story. When a fleeing refugee encounters a soldier wounded by a roadside bomb, irresistible Palestinian and Israeli characters clash, then ignite a passion that heals.'One of the most powerful antiwar plays ever penned ... this life-altering script.' -Plays International, London'Sunde’s timely, gripping, and richly magical play ... this modern day ROMEO AND JULIET ... an engrossing look at how war can prematurely turn children into adults ... emotional pull of her drama ... will haunt audiences well after the end of the play ... forces beyond man might be at work.' -AmericanTheaterWeb.com'A masterpiece ... no soft edges ... goes straight to the heart of the conflict ... outstanding writing, sound, direction, and acting - all the elements that make great theater.' -Melissa Kleiner, Bloomberg Radio'Sunde does not take sides in the conflict, and the dialogue has a crisp, biting edge ... gripping drama ... timely romantic drama ... volatile battle zone ... vivid portraits of offstage characters and action ... cinematic thrust of the pieces summons the inspiration for a dandy film.' -Variety'... its events seem ripped right out of today’s headlines ... pacifist tragedy ... a fateful night that profoundly changes them - and us. Its incisive dialogue, riveting action, and searing audience impact ... The play would likewise make a first-rate film.' -Plays International, London'HOW HIS BRIDE CAME TO ABRAHAM creates an extraordinary modern pacifist myth in which a wounded male Israeli soldier and a female Palestinian terrorist experience each other’s passionate hunger for their homes and rights ... it indelibly etches itself upon viewers’ souls.' -Contemporary Dramatists, London

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far.

    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
