About
AN APOLOGY TO AND FROM A MOTHER
This one-person, autobiographical show has creator and performer Adil Mansoor trying to reconcile his queerness, his mother's fear for his afterlife, and their love for each other by inviting her to co-dramaturg Antigone, the classic Greek tragedy about two sisters on opposing sides of obligation. Together Adil and his mother mine Greek tragedy, Islamic traditions, and their own memories to create an original performance locating love across faith.
This show will be here for one weekend only, thanks to a co-presentation with the Jungle Theater! Production is by Woolly Mammoth Theatre & PlayCo, in association with Kelly Strayhorn Theater.
Content warning: This production includes references to death of family members, divorce, and brief references to Islamophobia, homophobia, and racism. This production also includes brief instances of general profanity.
