BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO is suitable for audiences aged 18 and upwards. Running time for this production is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes including one intermission.

Two US Marines and an Iraqi translator are thrust into a world of greed, mystery and betrayal after encountering a very angry tiger that escaped from the zoo. The streets of war-torn Baghdad are filled with ghosts and riddles in this wryly funny ground-breaking play that explores the power and perils of human nature. “A gripping, ferocious new drama…Refreshingly topical and stylistically daring, Bengal Tiger never loses its sense of wonder or humor,” Time Out New York.
