The writer of ‘Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo’ took actors Arian Moayed and Omar Metwally on a pilgrimage to the site of his newest play.
New plays by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Jennifer Haley and Rajiv Joseph, plus a return of the Neo-Futurists, are also on tap for the D.C. theatre.
Joseph has won the 2015 Laurents/Hatcher Foundation Award for his play ‘Guards at the Taj.’
Playwright Rajiv Joseph remembers Robin Williams, who starred in his play ‘Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo’ on Broadway.
Two seasons ago, he seemed to be everywhere at once, including Broadway. Now he’s gearing up for more multi-city flights.
