Making its West Coast premiere, Iraq, But Funny is a witty exploration of Iraqi heritage and survival, penned by Atra Asdou. Directed by Dalia Ashurina, this production challenges traditional Middle Eastern narratives as told in the West, by centering the often-overlooked humor and resilience of the Assyrian community. A glimpse into a culture frequently defined by conflict rather than its vibrancy, Asdou reclaims the stage to hilariously interrogate history.
