Description

About the Author Yussef El Guindi is a prolific Arab American playwright of Egyptian descent whose works have been produced across the USA since Back of the Throat first premiered in 2004. He writes full-length, one-act, and adapted plays that focus on the Arab/Muslim experience in the United States. El Guindi has been the recipient of many prestigious playwriting awards including the Steinberg/American Theater Critics Association's New Play Award, Gregory Award, Edgerton Foundation New Play Award, ACT New Play Award, Seattle Times' "Footlight Award", the M. Elizabeth Osborn Award, L.A. Weekly's Excellence in Playwriting Award, Chicago's After Dark/John W. Schmid Award for Best New Play, and the Middle East America Distinguished Playwright Award.Michael Malek Najjar is an associate professor of Theatre Arts at the University of Oregon, USA with a specialization/ concentration in Arab American and Middle Eastern Theatre forms. He is the author of Arab American Drama, Film and Performance, 1908 to the Present and the editor of Four Arab American Plays: Works by Leila Buck, Jamil Khoury, Yussef El Guindi, and Lameece Issaq & Jacob Kader. He is on the advisory board of Arab Stages. Review This first collection of work from the leading Arab-American dramatist, with an impressive body of supplementary material, would be an important contribution in its own right, but Yussef El Guindi's ongoing exploration of the negotiations of a minority group in the United States today, especially a minority so symbolically central as the Arab-Americans, gives his work particular interest and importance. This collection should be on the shelf not only of anyone interested in the contemporary American theatre, but of anyone interested in the dynamics of minority populations in the U.S, today-arguably the nation's most pressing social and cultural concern.Marvin Carlson, Distinguished Professor, Graduate Center, The Graduate Center, CUNY, USATo refer to Yussef El Guindi as only an influential Arab-American playwright would be to taper off the width of his contributions to world theater. While the human experiences within which he writes include many liminal characters living "in-and-between+? time and space, his overall dramatic view of humanity is universal and transcends the lens of hybridity. Yussef El Guindi composes his plays with precision, intellect and humor; and with a supertext that connects all his works together. Yussef El Guindi writes with both reader and spectator in mind and his work is both dramatic literature and theatrical.Dina Amin, Associate Professor of Drama and Performance, Cairo University, Egypt
