Review: REFUGEE RHAPSODY at Contemporary American Theater Festival
by Jack L. B. Gohn - Jul 18, 2026
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 undecided about how to react, and in such an environment, Refugee Rhapsody, about several different kinds of enormities, just slides in and makes its sardonic wit at home.
