An American Brat

Feroza is a young Pakistani girl sent to college in America by her liberal Parsi parents. But now she’s fallen in love with an American – and he’s Jewish! Suddenly Feroza’s family is getting more than they bargained for, including a lesbian roommate and a domineering Jewish grandmother. The resulting clash is a humorous, touching, insightful look at the common threads of family life. This is the U.S. premiere of An American Brat, and will perform in conjuction with the Indian classic Naga Mandala, produced in partnership with Houston’s Shunya Theatre. The two plays are the focus of the 2007 Surround.
