The final play in Hudes soldiers trilogy, this reading follows productions of the other plays in the series by Stages (WATER BY THE SPOONFUL) and Main Street (ELLIOT, A SOLDIERS FUGUE), which both take place in February. In a barrio kitchen in North Philly, a professor moonlights as the local soup kitchen queen, offering rice and beans to any hungry neighbor. Halfway around the world, her cousin relives his military trauma on a Hollywood film set. With the Egyptian revolution booming in the distance, and local unrest erupting in Philly, these two cousins sing a defiant song of protest. But will Philly, or Egypt, listen?
