Over a brief, twelve-year career, the Iranian director and
playwright Reza Abdoh broke all of the conventions of American
theater, pushing actors and audiences past their limits to create
hallucinatory, at times nightmarish, dreamscapes shot through with
humor, song, and an unlikely spirituality. His productions
addressed the bitter political realities of his time- the systemic
devaluation of black life, governmental indifference to the AIDS
crisis, sexual repression, genocide in Europe, and war in the
Middle East-with harrowing eloquence. Just before his death he
ordered that his plays should never be performed again. Profusely
illustrated, the catalogue contains new essays on the influence and
reception of Abdoh's works in theater, film, and video, published
and unpublished interviews with the director, and conversations
with his friends and colleagues, as well as scripts of his plays
and contemporary reviews.
