Relative Theatrics PLAYWRIGHTS VOICED presents a staged reading of PIED NOIR by Felice Locker

Additional Information

Relative Theatrics presents a reading of PIED NOIR by Felice Locker and directed by James Hockenberry as part of the PLAYWRIGHTS VOICED series.
Police respond to a deadly attack in the South of France with an early morning raid on Muslim extremists. When a young Muslim woman crashes into the home office of Claude, a physical therapist, her hijab and refusal to be treated for her injury trigger nostalgia for his colonial life in Algeria when it was part of France. How can Magida, a Muslim born in France but not yet a citizen, and Claude, reliving his colonial superiority, face their fears and agree to share a national identity? This play intimately explores the racist roots of violence, multiculturalism, and the search for home and identity.
