American Fast is a thrilling, fast paced examination of what it means to be true to yourself, and the difficulties that are experienced when the outside world gets in the way. The writing is sharp, the characters are deeply developed, and the story is thrilling and deeply moving. It scores like an endless string of three-pointers that leaves the audience gasping for air. Most importantly, it's a story that's not often told on stages in American yet yearns to be seen.

AMERICAN FAST works beautifully with the particular themes of religion & relationship (mother/daughter, athlete/coach, girlfriend/boyfriend, media – social & news). There are lots of challenging opportunities for designers to shine, though it’s also possible to produce this play quite simply. Good story & good plot elements coming together to form a perfect ‘trap’ for central character Khady – all this with fast pacing & a great ending! I only read AF, but would love to see a production.

Breathless as a championship game, Fahmy's script is a whirlwind look at the intersection of faith, sports, and family – how each of them shapes us into a version of ourselves, and how dangerous it can be when any deviation will occur under a watchful eye beyond our control. Enormously variable in production, four plush acting roles, and the most practical food I've seen in a script in quite some time – a strong recommendation for any company at any scale. Game on!
