Play by Heather Raffo; senior actingwork of Lili Weckler '10. 'God created desire in ten parts; then he gave nine parts to women and one to men', Ali b. Abi Talib, fourth caliph after Muhammad. 9 Parts of Desire is a one-woman show based upon the experiences of the play's American-born, half-Iraqi author Heather Raffo who traveled to Iraq in 1993. Raffo lived, ate and talked with women from many different places in Iraqi society. The script is based upon her experiences in her father's home country. Middlebury will see a different kind of performance of 9 Parts of Desire, one by an American actress whose identity stands apart from the Iraqi family and the memories of sitting in a room with a Bedoin woman as she discloses her secret love affair. This version of the play is about memories that we as Americans do not have. Sponsored by the Theatre Program. Tickets on sale October 26
