THE DOMESTIC CRUSADERS at UC BERKELEY
Staged Reading with the NYC Cast
What: |
The Domestic Crusaders, one of the first major plays about Muslim Americans, comes to the Bay Area for an exclusive 3 show engagement sponsored by U.C. Berkeley.
Domestic Crusaders focuses on a day in the life of a modern Muslim Pakistani-American family of six eclectic, unique members, who convene at the family house to celebrate the 21st birthday of the youngest child. With a background of 9-11 and the scapegoating of Muslim Americans, the tensions and sparks fly among the three generations, culminating in an intense family battle as each “crusader” struggles to assert and impose their respective voices and opinions, while still attempting to maintain and understand that unifying thread that makes them part of the same family. |
