{"product_id":"the-black-eyed-architecture-9780881454017","title":"The Black Eyed \u0026 Architecture","description":"This collection includes one full-length play, THE BLACK EYED, and one short play, ARCHITECTURE. THE BLACK EYED: Four Arab women from across the ages meet in the afterlife. As these characters - who include the Biblical Delilah and a secular modern Arab-American - struggle to come to terms with their lives and their choices, this shockingly funny play skewers traditional views on sex, family, and terrorism. ARCHITECTURE: A short play based on the character of the Architect from the play THE BLACK EYED. \"A gorgeously conceived and realized drama ... [Shamieh's] theatrical imagination, in its agility and its urgency, brings to mind Tony Kushner, whose faith in eloquence as an instrument of change is echoed here.\" -The New Yorker \"Shamieh's writing is powerful! Violence haunts the four Palestinian women occupying an anteroom of the afterlife ... these souls in Samuel Beckett-like transit are The Black Eyed which happens to be the title of Betty Shamieh's provocative theater piece.\" -International Herald Tribune \"A chillingly beautiful piece about the relationship between seduction and violence!\" -San Francisco Weekly \"From its first words, Shamieh's play grabs you and won't let go.\" -Oakland Tribune \"Shamieh's writing is thoughtful, her perspective informed.\" -The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betty Shamieh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Play Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881454017\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadway Play Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44233582477427,"sku":"9.78088E+12","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_5180d4db-0af6-4d17-ab3f-0f39013d8177.jpg?v=1768744351","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-black-eyed-architecture-9780881454017","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
