Decolonizing Sarah

 Join us as we bring Samer Al-Saber’s new play, Decolonizing Sarah: a hurricane play, to the stage. A finalist in the National Playwrights Conference, this smart, quick-witted, and fast-paced piece explores a modern representation of cultural and racial identities and how they intertwine with the complexity of love and relationships. Later this summer, this show will be produced in Arabic with The Freedom Theatre in Jenin.

Written & Directed by Samer Al-Saber

During a category 3 hurricane at an isolated Airbnb, while the Corona pandemic rages on, Waleed and Sarah must confront each other and themselves. Charles lurks as Sarah's racially perfect partner. Dangerous encounters occur with armed neighbors. The hurricane within Sarah and Waleed intertwines with the Atlantic hurricane to force a confession in the eye of the storm. How do they choose when their heart and their politics want different things? Until the final moment, the greater question of their generation persists, will their final choices align with their political and racial visions for a better humanity?
