Busboys and Poets and Mosaic Theater are pleased to present this discussion of Mona Mansour's The Vagrant Trilogy. This is a Peace Cafe event! The Vagrant Trilogy is part of the 2018 Voices From a Changing Middle East Festival and is comprised of three, one-hour-long plays, with two ten-minute intermissions.
When hotshot Arab scholar Adham goes to London in 1967 with his new wife to give a talk, he has no idea his trip will end on a life-changing pivot point. After war suddenly breaks out in his homeland, what should he do? The Vagrant Trilogy follows each fork in that road, allowing the audience to experience his parallel lives, love and losses. Seen together in one epic showing, the plays speak to the psychic effects of displacement not just for Palestinians, but for all of us.
