Went to see the new show at the Brentwood Theater today, "9 Parts of Desire." It's written and performed by Iraqi-American Heather Raffo. It's a one-woman show with Raffo bringing to life her interviews with several different current-day Iraqi women.
Raffo is a good actress and does a great job of creating these different characters with only a small change in costume.
But, ultimately, the show didn't come together for me. I couldn't discern any underlying theme between the various monologues -- other than Hussein was a creep and the effects of war are bad. I was expecting more.
