A short solo play for a young woman. Several scenes can function as stand-alone monologues.

Zaynab, a funny and lively girl in Fallujah, blogs from her home during the American invasion in 2003. Her romantic dreams of her cousin collide with the reality of war, until Zaynab turns to the moon for help.

Inspired by the blogs of teenage girls from Iraq during what Iraqis refer to as "the American war," and the great in-depth reporting and books of the fearless late Anthony Shadid.

Zaynab is also a character in my full-length play, YOU ARE DEAD. YOU ARE HERE. developed in collaboration with director Joseph Megel and media designer Jared Mezzocchi.
