Around the Nation: April 2, 2008

  1. Revival of 'Dirt'--Internationally Acclaimed Solo Play About Racism
    • New York, NY.
    • 8:00pm

    Dirt was the most frequently performed solo show in Austria, Germany and Switzerland in the 1990s. 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. As he continues to talk it becomes increasingly clear that he has a love-hate relationship with himself, his heritage and the western world he currently lives in. Haunting and compelling, Dirt is a telling story about racism and the havoc it wreaks upon the human soul. Wednesdays through Fridays in April, at Under St. Marks, 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.
