The Black Eyed

by Betty Shamieh

Directed by Tony Adams

Part of the Alcyone Festival 2009

Four Arab women from across the ages meet in the afterlife.  The group: the Biblical Delilah, a victim of the crusades, a suicide bomber and a contemporary architect, struggle to come to terms with their lives and their choices, in this surprising funny play that challenges traditional views on sex, family, and terrorism.
