The Middle East is a hotbed of conflict and controversy, as well as stories and artistic talent. Enter Golden Thread Productions, a San Francisco theater company that explores the issues and culture of the Middle East with talent from Egypt, Iran and Syria, just to name a few of the countries represented. We’ll sit down with some of the company’s playwrights and directors to hear about their annual ReOrient Festival, and how they weave issues of politics and identity into their art.
