| Description: | By Lameece Issaq and Jacob Kader Directed by Shana Gold Previews begin May 18th, Opens June 7th 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. Noor Theatre teams up with New York Theatre Workshop to bring you FOOD AND FADWA. Runs May 18th-June 24th, at NYTW, 79 East. 4th Street, New York, NY.
