Yussef El Guindi

Methuen Drama

nidottu
A prolific playwright in the US, Egyptian-American playwright Yussef El Guindi explores, through his dramatic work, the immigrant experience. Addressing the personal, political and social encounters of those trying to adapt to new western countries and cultures, his plays are conceived and shaped with intelligence, sensibility and humour. This collection brings together works that span his career, from his first major play, Back of the Throat, to his boldly topical Threesome, throughout which he delves into the complex issues commonly felt by Arab immigrants in the US: Arabophobia, Islamophobia, media orientalism and bi-cultural issues. The plays featured in the anthology are: Back of the Throat Our Enemies: Lively Scenes of Love and Combat Language Rooms Pilgrims Musa and Sheri in the New World Threesome Packed with supplementary information that expands upon and contextualises El Guindi’s work, this collection is both an excellent compendium and a resource for study. Additional material includes: an annotated timeline of the playwright’s life and work; an introduction by Professor Michael Malek Najjar (University of Oregon) that draws out themes within the plays and examines El Guindi’s place in American theatre in the post-9/11 era; production stills of some productions of El Guindi's work; and El Guindi’s essay Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Meet Abdallah and Ahmed: Musings about Arabs and Muslims in American Theatre.

Ten Acrobats In An Amazing Leap Of Faith

Ten Acrobats In An Amazing Leap Of Faith

Yussef El Guindi

Broadway Play Publishing Inc
2018
pokkari
"What if Neil Simon wrote a lovable comedy about a Muslim-American family trying to hold itself together amidst the misunderstandings that run amuck and the comedy that ensues when the generations collide? It would probably resemble something like the surprisingly enjoyable, charming and oftentimes hilarious TEN ACROBATS IN AN AMAZING LEAP OF FAITH." Fabrizio O Almeida, New City Chicago "With TEN ACROBATS IN AN AMAZING LEAP OF FAITH, playwright Yussef El Guindi takes the genre (of the immigrant experience) to a new place--the Arab-American experience post September 11, 2001. With humor, passion and a lovely touch of whimsy, he's created a theatrical experience that's not to be missed." Louis Weisberg, CFP "El Guindi's engrossing play...finds a workable balance between sharp humor and head-banging angst, which shapes his story effectively." Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times "Woven into this complicated family drama are scenes of delightful humor. Humanity is the substance that ties not only all of the characters together but also binds the audience to them. This play beautifully serves the purposes of drama, comedy, the artistic theatrical process and, perhaps most importantly, demystifying the hate that comes from fear of unknown cultures." Venus Zarris, Gay Chicago Magazine "The drama comes from an emotionally vivid story that captures a world of anger, joy, love and frustration as it plays out in a Muslim-American family. The appeal lies in Guindi's ability to transcend ethnicity while still writing a rich depiction of a Muslim family... The emotional difficulties could belong to any family of any (or no) religion... Smart, challenging, poignant, whimsical and at times, delightfully silly." Catey Sullivan, Pioneer Press

The Talented Ones

The Talented Ones

Yussef El Guindi

Broadway Play Publishing Inc
2018
pokkari
"In a world where immigrants are often seen as monolithic others, this play, written by an immigrant, opens a window on their challenges and struggles ...El Guindi's script is spirited, profane, hilarious and pointed; line after line leaves its mark." Amy Wang, The Oregonian/ OregonLive.com "Innovative, darkly funny work... In his plays, El Guindi tends to explore the experiences of immigrants and people of color, and the complex, troubling racial dynamics that can play out in the most seemingly progressive places... The dialogue is quippy, sharp-edged, and so full of subtly disappointed pronouncements that much of it wouldn't be out of place in a Wes Anderson movie... What's especially powerful about THE TALENTED ONES is that it deviates from many "good immigrant" narratives that reduce immigrant characters--whether real or imagined--to blandly virtuous caricatures... El Guindi's risky, weird comedy is enough to keep you in your seat." Megan Burbank, The Portland Mercury "The new play is just offbeat enough to be unexpectedly funny and bizarre...THE TALENTED ONES' worldview still manages to be kind of beautiful--knife wounds and all." Shannon Gormley, Willamette Week "There is comedy--side-splitting and dark. It's a haunting play because the truths are so real and the action so raw... A play that should have no problems finding its way into theaters across the country." Judy Nerdy, Judy Nerdy Play Reviews

In a Clear Concise Arabic Tongue

Yussef El Guindi

Broadway Play Publishing

In A Clear Concise Arabic Tongue is a collection of 10 of Yussef El Guindi's one-acts and monologues. Here are reviews of some of them: "PICKING UP THE SCENT is a heart-breaking opener about life in a war zone. Archeologist Hisham discovers a lost perfume bottle. His wife Nisrin, a poet, begs him not to pursue its history further, what with the risk of the falling bombs and military advances. What follows is a stripped-down, actor en actor tear jerker. These are glorious moments: virtually no set, just black curtains, and a few actors giving it their all. It's a zinger of a start."Clinton Stark, Stark Insider "IN THE TYRANT...excellence is established for the entire evening... The play itself is brilliant, dark, challenging and thoroughly believable... At the end of this "short" play I felt like I'd spent a month with this man, and that the experience had entirely changed the way that I look at myself and the world. Pretty much the definition of a 'complete', fully-realized play."Jerry Kraft, SeattleActor.com "Last night I saw one of the best short political plays I've ever seen, a fifteen-minute one-person play called SO UNLIKE ME about a veteran peace activist...wrestling with despair, bleakness, powerlessness, the appeal of violence, the strengths and limits of non-violence and a bunch of other tough issues. It's funny, eloquent, disturbing and would make a great addition to some kind of cultural program that peace groups are putting on."Paul Loeb (author of Soul of a Citizen ) in a letter to a peace activist "THE SNIPER...humor-filled but honest and riveting reflection on the deep psychological roots of militarism."Robert Avila, San Francisco Bay Guardian "THE MONOLOGIST SUFFER HER MONOLOGUE is a witty and vibrant piece."Jeffrey R Smith, Jeffrey R Smith Reviews

For a middle-aged American couple traveling to Egypt on a business trip-slash-vacation, their relationship is put to the test when an old connection leads to new temptation. As the eager tourists strive to connect with Egyptian culture in an authentic way, they end up getting more than they bargained for as long-dormant marital issues begin to percolate.

Human Rights under State-Enforced Religious Family Laws in Israel, Egypt and India

Human Rights under State-Enforced Religious Family Laws in Israel, Egypt and India

Yüksel Sezgin

Cambridge University Press
2013
sidottu
About one-third of the world's population currently lives under pluri-legal systems where governments hold individuals subject to the purview of ethno-religious rather than national norms in respect to family law. How does the state-enforcement of these religious family laws impact fundamental rights and liberties? What resistance strategies do people employ in order to overcome the disabilities and limitations these religious laws impose upon their rights? Based on archival research, court observations and interviews with individuals from three countries, Yüksel Sezgin shows that governments have often intervened in order to impress a particular image of subjectivity upon a society, while people have constantly challenged the interpretive monopoly of courts and state-sanctioned religious institutions, re-negotiated their rights and duties under the law, and changed the system from within. He also identifies key lessons and best practices for the integration of universal human rights principles into religious legal systems.
