Calendar: Said & Redgrave's A WORLD I LOVED to Play Miller Theatre 11/28/2012

The Public Theater (Artistic Director Oskar Eustis; Executive Director Patrick Willingham) and Miller Theatre at Columbia University (Executive Director Melissa Smey) will present the Brighton Festival 2012 production of A WORLD I LOVED: The Story of an Arab Woman, for two nights only, November 28 and 29, at Columbia University’s Miller Theatre (2960 Broadway). Written by Mariam C. Said and Vanessa Redgrave, and directed and narrated by Redgrave, A WORLD I LOVED is a one-of-a-kind theatrical event based on the memoir of Said’s mother, Wadad Makdisi Cortas, an Arab woman who lived through and chronicled one of the most tumultuous periods in recent history, interweaving her personal experiences as a student, teacher and then principal in a girls’ school in Beirut with the wider political and historical narrative of Lebanon throughout the 20th century.
