Enjoy this month’s play reading of “Noura.” It’s Christmas Eve in New York City, and Noura—a newly minted U.S. citizen—is preparing to host an Iraqi meal and growing more homesick by the minute. Her husband and son have fully embraced their American names and identities, but Noura feels restless and displaced. Even so, she eagerly welcomes her dinner guests, who come bearing gifts and a big surprise that sends everyone spinning. Inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House,” this brilliant new play is a poignant exploration of motherhood, marriage and identity in modern America. Dramaturg Jo Holcomb will assign parts.
