Nine Parts of Desire

About the Show

Heather Raffo, an Iraqi-American playwright and performer, captures the lives of nine Iraqi women in this off-Broadway triumph. The title refers to a Muslim text, the 100 Maxims of Imam Ali, founder of the Shia sect and fourth leader of the Islamic World after Mohammed: “God created sexual desire in 10 parts; then he gave nine parts to women and one to men.”
