Aftermath - Thursday, Novemeber 10th, and Friday, November 11th, 2011

Aftermath by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen

Thursday, November 10, 2011 - 8:00 pm Friday, November 11, 2011 - 8:00 pm Kay Theatre

Aftermath reveals the stories of Iraqi civilians driven from their country by the chaos and violence of the Iraq war.

In 2008, playwrights Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen interviewed some 35 people who had fled to the relative safety of Jordan - a cross-section of lives interrupted - and crafted their conversations to be portrayed onstage by a nine-member cast of Arab-American actors in a theatrical event that peers into the heart of darkness to find our shared humanity.
