Book synopsis

Characters: 2m, 4f / DramaDavid Adjmi received the first ever Steinberg "Mimi" Playwright Award in 2009Sixteen year old Lily knows nothing beyond the Syrian-Jewish community in Brooklyn where she lives a cloistered life with her much older husband. Soon an unlikely relationship with her enigmatic African-American maid opens Lily's world to new possibilities - but at a huge price. David Adjmi's daring new work shifts from caustic satire to violent drama as it exposes the ways we invent and defend our identities in the melting-pot of America."Impossible to dismiss...An artist...whose next work I can't wait to see" -Hilton Als, The New Yorker"Virtuosic playwright David Adjmi nicely evokes an arrestingly skewed subculture onstage...coolly witty...A stinging portrait of an insular Syrian Jewish community in contemporary Brooklyn." -Jason Zinoman, The New York Times
