In a Clear Concise Arabic Tongue - Yussef El Guindi

Descriere In a Clear Concise Arabic Tongue - Yussef El Guindi

\n \nIn A Clear Concise Arabic Tongue is a collection of 10 of Yussef El Guindi's one-acts and monologues. Here are reviews of some of them: \n \n \n\n \n PICKING UP THE SCENT is a heart-breaking opener about life in a war zone. Archeologist Hisham discovers a lost perfume bottle. His wife Nisrin, a poet, begs him not to pursue its history further, what with the risk of the falling bombs and military advances. What follows is a stripped-down, actor en actor tear jerker. These are glorious moments: virtually no set, just black curtains, and a few actors giving it their all. It's a zinger of a start.\n \nClinton Stark, Stark Insider \n \n \n\n \n IN THE TYRANT...excellence is established for the entire evening... The play itself is brilliant, dark, challenging and thoroughly believable... At the end of this short play I felt like I'd spent a month with this man, and that the experience had entirely changed the way that I look at myself and the world. Pretty much the definition of a 'complete', fully-realized play.\n \nJerry Kraft, SeattleActor.com\n \n \n\n \n Last night I saw one of the best short political plays I've ever seen, a fifteen-minute one-person play called SO UNLIKE ME about a veteran peace activist...wrestling with despair, bleakness, powerlessness, the appeal of violence, the strengths and limits of non-violence and a bunch of other tough issues. It's funny, eloquent, disturbing and would make a great addition to some kind of cultural program that peace groups are putting on.\n \nPaul Loeb (author of Soul of a Citizen ) in a letter to a peace activist\n \n \n\n \n THE SNIPER...humor-filled but honest and riveting reflection on the deep psychological roots of militarism.\n \nRobert Avila, San Francisco Bay Guardian\n \n \n\n \n THE MONOLOGIST SUFFER HER MONOLOGUE is a witty and vibrant piece.\n \nJeffrey R Smith, Jeffrey R Smith Reviews\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n
