The Cry of The Reed
Friday to Sunday, April 18-20, 2008, 8 p.m.
Wimberly Theater, 527 Tremont St., Boston
In a play by Sinan Unel, a photojournalist and her colleague are captured by insurgents in Iraq. Sevgi is given one telephone call, which she chooses to use to talk to her estranged mother. The lines blur between the captors and captives and a tentative friendship forms while bombs rain down around them. This play tackles issues of identity, faith, and mystery, in this “ripped from the headlines” story.
