Trespassing

Flashpoint
916 G St NW Washington

Trespassing: US Premiere of Two One Act plays from Egypt by Alfred Farag “This is a crime that I am committing; even though I know the consequences full well, I still commit it.” Ambassador Theater invites you to trespass into a nighttime world of desperate crime and ruthless criminals. Or are they? Farag invites actors and spectators to play the game of a lifetime in the US premieres of two suspenseful Egyptian one act plays. The Visitor deals with deception (both of others and of ourselves), and The Peephole addresses the soullessness of an unchained capitalist society.

"...If you are Egyptian or American or from any other part of the world you will enjoy these two quirky and funny one-acts. Their universal messages will hit home."

"... The Ambassador Theater’s mission might be an ideal one for D.C. theatermaking: A coterie of professionals —most affiliated with area universities—pool their resources, seek out embassy funding, and mount shows by international playwrights. It’s a roadmap to plays the State Department would love. But for its aim to succeed, Ambassador has to pick the right plays. And—how to say this diplomatically?—the four-year-old troupe will need stronger guidance and higher stakes than what’s on evidence in its current double bill."

"... The two pieces, presented under the single title Trespassing and translated by Dina Amin, touch on the nature of acting itself and its uses in the real world."

DC is just the city for a company like Ambassador Theater. Home to a constant tide of diplomats, businessmen, and wandering tourists, this town must re-translate every day to keep the population flowing. Ambassador knows its audience is up for some cross-cultural fun and games, and they’re clearly excited about this new project: the US premiere of two one-act crime dramas from Egyptian playwright Alfred Farag, translated by Dina Amin.
