About
From the Egyptian-American winner of the Steinberg New American Play Award comes a romantic comedy about Muslim and American identity full of unexpected twists. Musa, a new immigrant from Egypt, picks up Sheri, a American waitress with an edge, after her shift. A night of improbable passion turns into an extended labyrinth of cultural assumptions upended.
