Abulkasem – a name that just might have magical powers. Everyone wants that name, but who is Abulkasem? A hero in a fairy tale. A world-renowned stage director. A cute guy I met at the bar. A shadowy figure we’re tracking across the globe. Or all of the above? Who is Abulkasem? And how many are there?

Reviews of Invasion: 

“If you’ve ever wished somebody would write a razor-sharp play anatomizing lazy paranoia about the Middle East—somebody has.”
–The Village VOICE

“It’s one of the best social commentaries in dramatic form of the past few years, and you owe it to yourself to see it as soon as you can.”
–CurtainUp

“When you’re in the hands of totally confident, committed theatre artists – well, there’s nothing like it. (…) The Play Company finds relatively unknown contemporary international playwrights with something to say. This is one of their best finds yet.”
–Lighting and Sound America
