Language Rooms

Thick House
San Francisco, CA


Ahmed is a shining example of the American Dream, working as a translator in a Homeland Security detainment facility. Soon after his big promotion, his loyalty is called into question as the job and the office politics take a turn for the absurd. A dark comedy that explores themes of identity and misguided patriotism, Language Rooms is another gem from Yussef el Guindi (Back of the Throat, Jihad Jones and the Kalashnikov Babes), one of the most important dramatic voices in the U.S. today, and this year's Middle East America winner.

Big big props to Golden Thread for their skillful, intense production of the hilarious, serious and creepy Language Rooms by Yussef el Guindi. Set in Guantanamo or some place very much like it in 2005, an Arab-American interrogator for the US has his loyalty called into question by a fellow Muslim co-worker. As he tries to prove himself, things get worse and worse and crazier and crazier.

The playwright avoids preaching to us, letting the situations do the talking. The play has a lot of layers about identity and fitting in, leaving me thinking about it well after I've left the play.

Well worth seeing.  There was a slow spot in the middle of act one, but most of the play is killer.
