Pakistani Stage Play Receiving Ovations in US

The Domestic Crusaders, a two-act play about Muslim Pakistani Americans is meant to convey a brutally honest, authentic, and no-holds-barred depiction of a family. Three generations of a Muslim American Pakistani family to be exact, featuring an aged grandfather (Dhada Hakim), his immigrant son and his middle aged wife, (Salman and Khulsoom)… The three standing ovations from the three shows recently presented at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre indicate that people, especially those not desi or Muslim, are starving for an authentic South Asian voice.
