"IMAGINE:IRAQ" is an evening of new short plays by Tariq Ali, Kia
Corthron, Culture Clash, Reg E. Gaines, Trevor Griffiths, Robert O'Hara,
Harold Pinter, Betty Shamieh, and Naomi Wallace. The plays explore the
connections between the people in Iraq, the Middle East, and the West at a
time when world history could well turn on these relationships. Planned
prior to September 11, the project took on new relevance after the
terrorist attacks and the subsequent US bombing campaign.
The evening is being presented by the Artists Network of Refuse & Resist!,
in association with playwright Naomi Wallace. These works-in-progress will
be performed as staged readings.
