Refugee Rhapsody, by Yussef El Guindi, is kind of funny. You may consider that an odd trait for a play about violence, racism, immigration and the dangerous effects of celebrity culture, but it happens to be true. In our media environment we are frequently confronted by enormities that leave us very…

Review: THE SMOKER at Contemporary American Theater Festival

Review: THE SMOKER at Contemporary American Theater Festival

by Jack L. B. Gohn · July 16, 2026

In the end, this is not so much of a takedown of one specific person as of a way of being a person. To shrink down to that person’s size is to lose out on life. In this good and carefully-written play, D’Amour makes that clear.…
