Our Enemies

February 21 - March 30, 2008
The World Premiere

Our Enemies:
Lively Scenes of Love and Combat

Written by Yussef El Guindi 

Directed by Patrizia Acerra

Featuring:
Kareem Bandealy, Andrew Navarro, Don Bender, James Elly, Susie Griffith, Monica Lopez and Vincent P. Mahler

A darkly humorous and sensual look at identity, media-representation, love and lust in the Arab American community.

Fueled by frustration over the limited Arab voices in the US media, a struggling writer, Gamal, engages in a prank campaign to shake up the system. But those in power have a way of turning the tables.

When Gamal's lover, Noor, is convinced by a prominent publisher to alter her novel to satisfy Western hunger for "Orientalist" fare, Gamal lashes out at his own community. The results are staggering
