  • Tita Anntares: The Triumphant

    Kareem Fahmy has written an amazing play that riffs off Sinbad stories. Four men in a 21st Century Egyptian prison for gay men, fearing torture or execution - each time their fears and mutual conflicts become unbearable, they burst into storytelling to survive the terror, physically and imaginatively re-enacting scenes from the Sinbad stories, then subside back to their reality. A May 24 NY Times article by Salman Rushdie about stories reminded me of seeing this powerful play in Brooklyn.
