Shude Play

Saturday 28 March 2009

Here is a picture from the strangest play I have ever seen. It was performed by the university where our friend Jenny used to work (and put on amazing plays), written by the new director there. The basic plot: Jewish seamstress falls in with some female Muslim suicide bombers who wear pants, drink and smoke (I don't think the writer knew much about Islam), and they trick her into being a suicide bomber, too. Then they frame her for selling fraudulent oil, have a trial in a cafe (where the representative of homeland security is also a female Muslim who drinks), find her guilty, and execute her in the same cafe. The original suicide bombers take her corpse, give is a semi-Jewish funeral, then beg Allah to bring her back to life, which He does. (Scene featured) She becomes a zombie, is raped by the suicide bombers' boss, gives a eulogy at her own funeral, kills everyone, and ends the show yelling about how Allah is the beast and they have all killed Allah.

I don't think I have any comment on this.
