Yussef El Guindi

Threesome Yussef El Guindi

Leila and Rashid, Egyptian Americans, attempt to solve their relationship issues by inviting a relative stranger into their bedroom to engage in a threesome. What begins as a hilariously awkward evening soon becomes an experience fraught with secrets, raising issues of sexism, possession, and independence. "Mr El Guindi's dialogue snaps and sparkles... Infectious laughter ripples throughout." The New York Times "Seamlessly melds sexual and political themes until you realize they're one in the same... A fascinating and unforgettable comedy." TheaterMania "Whether you see Yussef El Guindi's THREESOME as a sex play, a feminist play, an Arab-themed play, a geopolitical play, or just a play with genital-gazing opportunity, see it...not because it's funny (though it certainly is), but because it's interesting." Seattle Weekly "A clever comedy of sexual manners encasing a provocative and explosive drama." The Seattle Times "Playwright El Guindi has built an elaborate, intellectual, and dense treatise, where sex, international politics, and feminism intersect... Make no mistake; this show is worthy of your time and attention." The Portland Mercury
