World Premiere of Khalidi's TENNIS IN NABLUS Opens at Alliance Theatre, 1/29
by Jeff Dennhardt - Jan 29, 2010
Palestine. 1939. A dying revolution. An Arab family trapped: divided between rebellion and hope for a stable future. True events inspire this compelling story about Arab revolt against British occupation as two nations fight for their stake to land during a period of momentous global change. Emerging playwright Ismail Khalidi lends a bold, contemporary voice to the Israeli/Palestinian history in Tennis in Nablus, the sixth winner of the nationally recognized Kendeda Graduate Playwriting Competition. Off-beat humor abounds in this 'tragipoliticomedy' about allegiance, struggle and crisis, where events and people are not what they seem. Sacramento Theatre Company Artistic Director Peggy Shannon directs this groundbreaking new work on the intimate Hertz Stage. Opening Night is Wed, Feb. 3, at 8 p.m.
