What Can Art Do? - Play Performance

As part of the "What Can Art Do?" exhibition (https://tinyurl.com/jfqhc4q), there will be a series of performances on Sunday 5 March, beginning at 4:30 in the 7th floor gallery of the UW Humanities building.

The THEATRE ETC Work Group will present a reading of Lebanese author Issam Mahfouz's play The Dictator, translated by Robert Myers and Nada Saab, beginning at 6:30pm in Humanities 6321. Produced and performed by Jeff Casey, Monica Fan, Robert Mitchell, and Matthew Young. 

Mahfouz's play, first performed in 1969 and only translated into English in 2015, is "a classic of absurdist theatre." It tells the story of the General and his obsequious companion Saadoun, who believe they are commanding a military coup to overthrow the king and liberate the people.
