“The [Vagrant Trilogy] extends far beyond the timeline of
devastating events, and instead shows us something greater:
humanity.” - Broadway World The Vagrant Trilogy is a set of three
plays by award-winning Arab American playwright Mona Mansour which
explores the Palestinian condition prior to, during, and after the
infamous Six-Day War. It sketches the devastating effect this
conflict had on members of the Palestinian diaspora scattered in
Europe and in Lebanese refugee camps. With productions in
Washington DC, New York, and Abu Dhabi, this trilogy has moved
audiences across both America and the Arabic-speaking world. The
Hour of Feeling, The Vagrant, and Urge for Going offer a deep
exploration of the Palestinian struggle for home and identity, a
powerful glimpse into a reality that many face and few understand.
The volume includes a foreword by director Mark Wing-Davey; an
introduction by Arab American theatre scholars Hala Baki and
Michael Malek Najjar; the three plays in their final performance
versions; an interview with playwright Mona Mansour; and a critical
essay by literary scholar Diya Abdo. This collection of Mansour’s
outstanding plays is another important contribution to the Arab
American theatrical canon and the larger body of American drama.
