“Sabra Falling”
Written by Ismail Khalidi
Directed by Dipankar Mukherjee
September 15 – October 1, 2017
It is August 1982 and war-torn Beirut is under siege. In the Sabra refugee camp the specter of a massacre looms as the Akawi family receives an unexpected visitor that brings the past rushing back and alters the course of events to come.
The opening weekend of this timely play is on the 35th anniversary of the infamous massacre of Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Shatila camps.
