MFA Collaboration Series 17/18 presents:
THE ORANGE GARDEN
By Joanna Garner. Directed by Hassan Al Rawas.
Saturday, May 5, 2018 at 2:00PM

Hal & Martha Hyer Wallis Theater
1949 Campus Drive - Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts
on the Evanston Campus of Northwestern University
Evanston, IL 60208
Located on the southeast part of the Evanston campus just off Sheridan Road on Campus Drive. The Wallis studio theatre space is on the west side of the Wirtz Center/Theater building facing west.

This production is part of the MFA Lab series, matching Northwestern's emerging MFA directors and designers for exciting and unexpected collaborations with contemporary theatre.

A young Peace Corps volunteer lands in Iran in 1972 and is quickly swept up into a dangerous romance and the growing fire of revolution. This remarkable new play won the 2016 Keene Prize for Literature and illuminates the complications of falling in love with people and places by weaving together Rumi's poetry, 1960s rock music and the lyricism of the Persian language.
