PEOPLE OF THE BOOK

By Yussef El Guindi.
Directed by John Langs.

The New York Premiere:
October 4-November 3, 2024

Jason returns from war to literary glory after writing an international best-seller, but his celebrity is underscored by his marriage to Madeeha, an Iraqi woman he saved. When he reunites with old friends, Amir and Lynn, questions emerge about the veracity of the book and its particular patriotic American gaze. Lust, jealousy, and personal politics bring things between old friends to a boiling point and we are asked “what is the expense of lies – personally and as a country?”

Starring Sarah McAfee, Haneen Arafat Murphy, Brian Slaten and Ramsey Zeitouneh
