The play centers on a desperately alienated illegal immigrant from Iraq, who confronts xenophobia, latent racism and ethnocentrism as he sells roses on the streets to make ends meet. Presented by the Austrian Cultural Forum, Dirt will be performed at Under St. Marks at 94 St. Marks Place (between 1st Avenue & Avenue A. Closest subway: 6 to Astor Place. Basement theater, no wheelchair access). Tickets are $20 and $15 for students and can be purchased online or by calling 212-868-4444. For more info, visit the website.
