Two U.S. Marines and an Iraqi translator are thrust into a world of greed, mystery, and betrayal after encountering a quick-witted tiger. The streets of war-torn Baghdad are filled with ghosts and riddles in this wryly funny ground-breaking play that explores the power and perils of human nature. “A gripping, ferocious new drama…Refreshingly topical and stylistically daring, Bengal Tiger never loses its sense of wonder or humor,” Time Out New York.
*TALKBACK – After April 24, 2 p.m. performance
Patrons are invited to stay, learn more, and ask questions about the show with Hamid Dehghani (director) and Keary Watts (dramaturg). We invite all interested audience members to stay, learn more, and ask questions about the show, the importance of its themes, its historical context, and the mythological premises that are central to the play.
Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo is suitable for audiences aged 18 and upwards.*
