Highly Critical Well-thought Out Play
"If there were a single positive Muslim portrayal, that would have helped, and would have made it a more nuanced play."
Another reviewer reviewed the play with the quote above. And I think the reviewer entirely missed the point. That these were supposedly positive Muslim portrayals from various angles. The successful lawyer who is trying to fit in until his association with other Muslims unravels his career, extra-martial affairs by his wife unravels his marriage and leads to what sounded like domestic assault -- like this guy is looking for an out to be "one of us" but there just isn't one; he's in his own words what the black people describe as the n* word.
This is a role-model positive Muslim trying to live the American dream by re-inventing himself like all Americans do by looking at his past, where Americans looked to the Greeks, he's looking to the Hindus to his Indian heritage and attempting to reinvent himself on the basis of that... only to have that identity unravel in the face of the duplicitous power structure that he's confronted with, which on one hand seems to be tolerant and embracing but at the same time highly discriminatory and judging. Where his own duplicity comes to the forefront and is challenged and mocked -- where the duplicity of his colleague is simply accepted at face value. He can't be himself, as he's not accepted in any way. He's in another words disgraced, as not in God's grace or divine grace. If this play offends any Muslims they need to closely re-examine and try to come to an understanding with what it is saying -- as that's usually the covert way the duplicitous culture attempts to hide its own misdeeds and power plays.
