THE DOMESTIC CRUSADERS |
||
|
The Domestic Crusaders, one of the first major Muslim Pakistani American plays that has been compared to "Raisin in the Sun," "A Long Day's Journey Into Night," and "Death of a Salesman," and was recently endorsed and supported by Academy Award winning actress/writer Emma Thompson. The Domestic Crusaders focuses on a day in the life of a modern Muslim Pakistani-American family of six eclectic, unique members, who convene at the family house to celebrate the twenty-first birthday of the youngest child. With a background of 9-11 and the scapegoating of Muslim Americans, the tensions and sparks fly among the three generations, culminating in an intense family battle as each "crusader" struggles to assert and impose their respective voices and opinions, while still attempting to maintain and understand that unifying thread that makes them part of the same family.
