Back of the Throat

“For the longest time Arab issues or Muslim issues just had not been on the radar," says playwright Yussef El Guindi. "The subject was just "too edgy.” Then came 9/11. Suddenly there were calls for plays.” A chilling black comedy, Back of the Throat tells a Kafkaesque story of two mysterious government agents who visit the apartment of Kaled, an Arab-American writer, for some “routine questioning.” What begins as friendly and humorous becomes uncomfortable, then menacing, and finally violent.
