“Home? A Palestinian Woman’s Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness” at Z Below

San Francisco Playhouse presents the World Premiere of Hend Ayoub’s Home? A Palestinian Woman’s Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness as part of its Sandbox Series, the award-winning series of premieres produced on local stages. Commissioned by San Francisco Playhouse, this autobiographical one-woman show written and performed by Ayoub chronicles her life journey as a Palestinian woman navigating the complexities of identity, searching for a place to belong. With candor and humor, Ayoub traces her journey from her childhood in Israel to her pursuit of an acting career in Israel, Egypt, and America, seeking acceptance and contending with discrimination.Performed in English, Hebrew, and Arabic, this magnetic, moving, and unexpectedly humorous play explores whether a world divided by nationality and ethnicity can offer a home for those caught in between. American Conservatory Theater Artistic Director Emerita Carey Perloff directs this Sandbox premiere.
