audiences with the triumphant GATZ, based on F. Scott
Fitzgeralds’s The Great Gatsby, and their interpretation
of The Sound And The Fury received critical acclaim when
it debuted at NYTW in 2008. The 2011-2012 Season begins with the
long-awaited return of ERS to New York Theatre Workshop with the
final chapter in their trilogy of classic American literature.
THE SELECT (THE SUN ALSO RISES) will present
a fresh take on Ernest Hemingway’s tale of young expatriates
living in Europe after World War I. Journalist Jake Barnes, his
former lover Lady Brett Ashley and the writer Robert Cohn inhabit
Europe to cope with post-war realities and enter the “age
of anxiety” following the end of the war. |

FOOD
AND FADWA
May 18 - June 24
By Lameece Issaq and Jacob Kader
Directed by Shana Gold
A Co-Production with NOOR Theatre
Meet Fadwa Faranesh, an unmarried, 30-something
Palestinian woman living in Bethlehem in the politically volatile
West Bank. Known for her delectable cooking and deep-seated sense
of duty to her family and aging father, our kitchen maven insists
on continuing the preparations for the wedding of her younger
sister, despite constraints of daily life under occupation. Politics
blend with family tensions to create a sometimes humorous and
sometimes heartbreaking meal. Story by Lameece Issaq and Jacob Kader and directed by Shana Gold, this
new play melds the fight a Palestinian family wages to hold onto
its traditional culture with its need to celebrate love, joy and
hope. NYTW teams up with company-in-residence Noor Theatre to present FOOD AND FADWA. |
