  • Elana Gartner: Draw the Circle by Mashuq Mushtaq Deen
    “

    This is a fascinating examination of the journey of gender transition of an Indian/Muslim from the point of view of everyone else. There were points in some of the monologues that I found myself surprised at the points it was making that I had never thought about and entirely grateful to be challenged to consider them. This is a play that needs to be seen right now. It is very timely, exposing cultural challenges on many levels.

    A beautifully written story of self-discovery and family. Intersectional, personal, uncomfortable, funny, smart. I saw a this produced and performed in Washington DC and in New York City and found it moving in both settings. Highly recommended.

    One of my most rewarding decisions as an artistic director was supporting the final leg of development and production for DRAW THE CIRCLE, as part of InterAct Theatre Company's "Outside the Frame" festival in 2012. This is a beautifully conceived piece that is humorous, enlightening, poignant and deeply human. It shouId be presented (or produced) in every city in the country.
