Home? A Palestinian Woman's Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness

Show Info

Written and performed by Hend Ayoub
Directed by Carey Perloff

In Israel, she’s Palestinian. In the Arab world, she’s Israeli. In America, she’s an “other.”

Through a panoply of vivid characters including her five-year-old self, an Egyptian casting director, her dying mother, and many others, Home? follows the true story of Hend Ayoub's journey to define her identity and find a place where she belongs. With warmth and humor, her poignant struggle asks: In a world divided by nationality and ethnicity, where is home for those caught between worlds?

Home? was commissioned by San Francisco Playhouse and developed by Noor Theatre as part of its Highlight Reading Series. The workshop production was at Voices Festival Productions as part of its Voices From a Changing Middle East Festival. With support from The NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theatre by the City of New York Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment in association with The New York Foundation for the Arts.
