Photo Flash: First Look at Syracuse Stage's SCORCHED, Opening Tonight
By: Tyler Peterson Oct. 23, 2013
Syracuse Stage present SCORCHED, beginning tonight, Oct. 23, and continuing through Nov. 10. Check out a first look below!
An epic mystery that has captivated and stunned audiences around the globe. After their mother's death, twins Janine and Simon, guided by letters the mother has left each, travel to the Middle East to untangle family roots entwined in a war ravaged past. A play of raw power and poetic resonance, the Syracuse Stage production marks the return of director Marcela Lorca (Caroline, or Change).
Wajdi Mouawad is a multi-award winning Lebanese-Canadian writer, actor and director. At age six, he and his family fled from Beirut in 1975 as a result of the Lebanese Civil War. Drawing upon that experience and inspired by Greek tragedies as well as Kafka, he wrote Scorched. A film version, Incendies, was Canada's official selection for the 2011 Academy Awards.
Scorched is recommended for mature audiences due to adult language and violent situations.
