Assyrian Monkey Fantasy Opens in New York

(ZNDA: New York) Assyrian Monkey Fantasy (in two movements) is a new theatrical fantasia written and performed by the Assyrian playwright and theatre director, Assurbanipal Babilla. It's composed of two monologues, "Confessions of a Latter Day Temple Prostitute" and "My Windows in Brooklyn or Welcome to America." The former is about Dora Dewberry, an aging, sex-starved film actress, told in first person by a man in a tuxedo. How much of Dora's lurid story is real and how much does it matter? The second piece is about an Iranian illegal immigrant holed up in a makeshift apartment, terrified of being deported. When a mysterious woman demands entry into his room and begs him to save her marriage, a tragicomedy of biblical proportions ensues.

Babilla is the author of forty plays, many of which were done at the Drama Workshop of Teheran in the 1970s. He fled Iran when the Islamic Revolution came. His most recent play was Something Something Uber Alles , which was a hit at FringeNYC.

Assyrian Monkey Fantasy is directed by Michael Gardner.
