Playwright Assurbanipal Babilla looks at American culture from a Middle Eastern perspective. Once a celebrated well-known playwright/director /painter/ sculptor in Iran, he fled his country in 1979 after his series of erotic nude self-portraits were put on
trial, banned, and subsequently burned during Khomeini's regime. (You read correctly, it was the paintings themselves that were tried).

Last year Babilla was awarded a Hellman/Hammett grant in recognition of his courage in the face of political persecution. Since coming to America, Babilla plays (with such titles as Eating the Audience, Something Something Uber Alles, The Sisters Karamazov, and Born Again Killer) have been seen in New York at La MaMa, P.S. 122 and The Vineyard.
Three Angels has been performed across the U.S, and in Europe. Square Peg's production is its Southeastern premiere. Square Peg has been invited to bring Three Angels to New York City's Brick Theater for a run in summer 2007.
