TAPS At Brown University Presents BACK OF THE THROAT
Theatre Arts & Performance Studies' Sock & Buskin present Back of the Throat by Yussef El Guindi directed by Ahmed Ashour '19.
Sparkling with intelligence and humor, Back of the Throat is the tale of an apparently friendly visit by two government officials, which soon devolves into a full-blown, no-holds-barred probe. Khaled, an Arab-American writer and the focus of their inquiry, finds himself, to his astonishment, suddenly accused of possible ties to terrorists. As the interrogation proceeds, the officials reveal their evidence, but is it evidence? Or have innocent events been distorted through the lens of paranoid suspicion? As the situation turns increasingly surreal, and the menace to Khaled increasingly real, the question of what it means to be an American takes on a very personal and charged significance.
Winner of L.A Weekly's 2006 Excellence in Playwriting award, Back of the Throat by Yussef El Guindi, directed by Ahmed Ashour will run November 29 through December 2 at Leeds theatre on the main campus at Brown University (83 Waterman Street.) Performances take place Thursday - Saturday at 8pm and Saturday and Sunday at 2PM.
