Not just a comedy
This play is billed as a comedy. While I laughed heartily throughout, serious issues were raised. Poverty, religious tensions in the Middle East, government corruption to name a few. This all sounds pretty heady, but the comic element really makes it very palatable.
Warning: this play is performed without an intermission.
