The Domestic Crusaders
by Wajahat Ali
UK Premiere presented by Tara Arts and supported by
The United States Embassy, London
Directed by Jatinder Verma
Designed by Claudia Mayer
Lighting Design by Howard Hudson
The 21st birthday celebration of Ghafur the youngest son of Khulsoom and Salman, is the catalyst for three generations to convene at the family home - a day in the life of a modern Pakistani-American family. Post 9/11 and the scape-goating of Muslim Americans form the backdrop to the tensions which rise and spark among the six eclectic characters in Wajahat Ali’s The Domestic Crusaders, which culminates in an almighty family battle. Ali’s domestic comedy provides an incisive commentary on the nature of the American Dream post-9/11.
