The DC Traveler

A married sixteen year young woman is sheltered from American life beyond her local Brooklyn Syrian-Jewish neighborhood.

Lily’s restricted life, with her older husband, is threatened when she befriends an African-American housekeeper who, while showing her a new world outside of her community, also opens her life to new opportunities. But with the new possibilities comes serious risk.

The story, by playwright David Adjmi, who grew up in a Brooklyn Persian Jewish neighborhood, uses social satire and violence in this provocative story to express the ways immigrants hold on to their culture, while attempting to Americanize their identity in the American melting-pot.
