A Muslim In The Midst
About the show
Three days after 9/11, a drama unfolds on the other side of the world. More…
September 14, 2001: On the streets of Bangalore, India, a poor Muslim family is stranded. Desperate to reach a relative’s home in a distant suburb, the new immigrants to the city are struggling to find a ride late in the night. Watching them closely is a Hindu couple, both executives of American companies. The liberal and westernized executive couple offer to take the traditional and rural Muslim couple along. The conversation quickly takes an unexpected turn as the two worlds collide. Fueled by a pro- and anti-Islamic rhetoric, and warnings about potential terror threats intermittently playing on the radio, the characters fight within their self-imposed confines of prejudice and fear, in their attempts to look beyond the obvious ideological differences, and unravel a common fellowship based on humanity.

See it if want to hear the "debate" from outside the US perspective regarding post-911 and reactions to muslims.
Don't see it if A bit too cookie-cutter with different characters and their viewpoints.
See it if You like to see new, independent theater with contemporary and relevant themes.
Don't see it if Brooklyn is too far away. Or if you only like big Broadway musicalS.
