An American Brat by Bapsi Sidhwa, directed by Irfan Malik
South Asian American Theater (SAATh) presents the East Coast premiere of Bapsi Sidhwa’s An American Brat, directed by Irfan Malik, at the Boston Center for the Arts Plaza Black Box, 539 Tremont Street, Boston. The production begins performances on Wednesday, March 18 and runs through Saturday, March 21. Adapted by the playwright from her novel of the same title, An American Brat is a humorous, touching, insightful look at the common threads of family life. Feroza, a young Pakistani woman sent to the United States by her liberal Parsi parents, is about to marry outside the community—to David, a Jewish American. Zareen, Feroza’s mother, is given the charge to make sure this doesn’t happen. Suddenly Zareen is confronted with more than she bargained for, including a lesbian roommate, a domineering Jewish grandmother and experiences she never imagined. Irfan Malik has studied acting and direction with Scott Zigler, Marcus Stern and Will Lebow at Harvard University/American Repertory Theatre. He has worked as an actor in independent films and theater productions. An American Brat is the second play he has directed. He has also published three books of poetry and two anthologies of literary translations. The performance schedule of An American Brat is March 18, 19 at 7:30 p.m.; March 20 at 8:00 p.m.; March 21 at 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The ticket price is $25. Discounts include $15 for students with ID, $15 for opening night (Wednesday, March 18) and $15 for the matinee show (Saturday, March 21). Tickets can be purchased at the Boston Center for the Arts box office, online at bostontheatrescene.com or by phone at 617-933-8600.
