Inana (Paperback, Samuel French Acting ed.)

Drama Characters: 5 male, 3 female, with doubling Winner! 2010 Francesca Primus Prize Finalist! 2010 Steinberg/ATCA New Play Award Finalist! 2009 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize On the eve of the U.S. invasion of Baghdad, one man, an Iraqi museum curator, plots to save the statue of Inana, Goddess of War, from destruction by the invaders. Fleeing to London with his young bride, he makes a life-altering deal to ensure the statue's preservation. Michele Lowe opens a window of hope and healing with her poignant love story amidst a background of international, and personal, intrigue. Inana had its world premiere at the Denver Center Theatre Company's Colorado New Play Summit. "By introducing us to human and complex Iraqi characters, as opposed to road-side bombers, Michele Lowe's play wants to smooth the border that separates our nations like a line of sand in the desert...a quick and engaging tale that allows us to consider our "enemy" in new and more humane ways. To consider the infuriating plight of Middle Eastern women. To reflect on the unconscionable desecration of a country's sacred heritage, severed into pieces like so many body parts. All while escaping into an unlikely but eventually sweet romance." -Denver Post
