Reviews

“
Sylvia Khoury pulls nifty narrative and stylistic jumps out of her hat, and it works.
—The New York Times

First Rehearsal: Selling Kabul

Get to know the Cast and Crew of Selling Kabul!

From the Artistic Director: Selling Kabul

Sylvia spins out her narrative with an almost surgical precision, building tension by increments as the events outside this apartment escalate.

Playwright’s Perspective: Selling Kabul

When we no longer needed men like Taroon, their bodies, too, became their own again, and their lives and those of their families, not our concern.

Backstory: Afghan Interpreters’ Search for Safety

If an interpreter was shot at, or if their home was looted, they cannot produce written evidence; and even applicants who do include written death threats in their applications are frequently denied for unknown reasons.

American Voice: Doctors and Playwrights

This is the reason why, across Sylvia’s plays, there are no villains. There are only people trying to live – often unsure how – in circumstances foreign to us for their distance from American soil but otherwise awfully familiar.
