Description
"'Our story begins at the very dawn of history, circa 3,000 B.C...' I am reading from an outdated guidebook about the city of Kabul. In Afghanistan. In the valleys of the Hindu Kush Mountains. A guidebook to a city which as we all know, has...undergone change." --the opening of Homebody/Kabul
The Homebody, an emotionally imprisoned but wildly intellectual English woman, unexpectedly flees to Afghanistan, a place that, with the help of an old Kabul tourist guidebook, she romanticizes as exotic and mysterious.
Her sudden disappearance prompts a search by her husband and daughter who arrive in the foreign land unprepared for the adventures and contradictions that await them.
Tony Kushner has turned his penetrating gaze to the arena of global politics to create this suspenseful portrait of dangerous collisions between cultures and the personal human dramas that incite them.
