A well put together and simple but effective production that goes beyond the surface cliches and delves into the deeper dilemmas that a refugee family goes through in their adopted homeland (Lebanon in this case). Highly recommended.

It's a good show and worth attending. You get a chance to hear the story from a Palestinian prospective that provides insight into the Israeli v. Palestinian conflict.

Description

Urge for Going
By Mona Mansour
Directed by Hal Brooks

Featuring: Omid Abtahi, Jacqueline Antaramian, Tala Ashe, Demosthenes Chrysan, Ramsey Faragallah, and Ted Sod

Jamila, a 17-year-old Palestinian girl growing up in a Lebanese refugee camp, is desperate to escape the small and impoverished world she calls home but her greatest source of inspiration, her father, may also prove to be her biggest obstacle. Mona Mansour, a member of The Public's Emerging Writers Group making her major debut with this production, fuses global politics with the intimacy of coming-of-age in this searing new play.
