FROM THE ARTIST:
This summer will see the world premiere of "Fresh Meat," at The New York International Fringe Festival: FringeNYC. Written by and Starring Hamza Zaman, this play traces the very real difficulties convicted felons face upon their release and trying to integrate into society.
"I am very honored that FringeNYC has accepted my play to their 20th Anniversary lineup. While I am not here to preach, I wanted to tell a compelling tale, where through the lens of an irregular friendship we can focus attention on the plight of an underserved segment of society. I hope you enjoy," said Hamza Zaman.
Hamza also plays Ravi Prajna in the upcoming Feature film, "Tango Shalom" which stars Jos Laniado (One Life to Live), Leah Zlotkin (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and Karina Smirnoff (Dancing with the Stars Champion).
"Fresh Meat" gives audiences the opportunity, to follow a convict, on his journey to re-assimilate back into a society. While examining how the people we stigmatize, aren't always deserving of such great disapproval" said Director Jonathan Rosner.
"Fresh Meat" will feature Hamza Zaman, Neilson Lantigua, Warren Bub, Brielle Hepburn and Vincent Vacarro. Previously "Fresh Meat" was done as a One-Act at the Manhattan Repertory Theater on 42nd st. in New York City.
