LANGUAGE ROOMS by Yussef El Guindi (West Coast premiere) November 10, 2011

"It's funnier than The Office, and more disturbing than Brazil." Homeland Security is a laughing matter in Yussef el Guindi's Language Rooms- a dark comedy about the American Dream, identity and misguided patriotism. Playwright Yussef el Guindi (the celebrated Egyptian American author of Back Of The Throat and Jihad Jones And The Kalashnikov Babes) confronts serious themes the American immigrant family drama, paranoia and prejudice with wry humor and intelligent writing.
