In the Heart of America

Written by Naomi Wallace
Directed by Dana Resnick and John Kahara

Starring John Kahara, Michael Garvey

About the play: Naomi Wallace’s play is an exploration of the body as means for love and a tool of war, Appalachian-born Craver (John Kahara) and Palestinian-American Remzi bond in a way characteristic of soldiers, but their relationship seamlessly blends into intimacy. With the impact of events like the War in Iraq, the Gulf War, and the Vietnam War looming in the minds of the characters, we experience the devastating impact of American politics.
