Invasion!

A tornado of words, images and ideas, all centered around a magical name: Abulkasem

The play assaults our deepest prejudices about identity, race and language

At once hilarious, disturbing and poignant, this deeply subversive play deconstructs a threatening identity the Arabic male and forces us to confront our own cultural identity

Reviews

"Ask no more questions. Do not hesitate. This is without a doubt one of the best plays I have seen this entire season and that includes Broadway, Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway ... an extremely intelligent, linguistically complex, politically charged, attention grabbing, rapid-fire tour de force" ~ New York NearSay

"A slyly entertaining comedy with a sharp political edge ... " ~ The New York Times

"If you've ever wished somebody would write a razor-sharp play anatomizing lazy paranoia about the Middle East―somebody has" ~ The VillageVoice

"A high-energy, often hectic experience, with theatrical and political ideas bouncing off each other like pinballs" ~ Backstage

"It's a stimulating, challenging, and rewarding ride" ~ NY Theatre

"Snarky and subversive, Invasion! hits home without pulling punches ... a must see for anyone who's sick of America's political dead weight and the present dramatic doldrums" ~ Theasy.com

"Wonderful, fantastic, magnificent ... a manic phantasmagoria" ~ Süddeutsche Zeitung
