The Boatman

Country: Egypt

Playwright: Sameh Mahran

Translator: Dina Amin

Director: Liz Carlin-Metz

In this surreal satire, an Egyptian couple who have been engaged for seven years but unable to marry, because they can’t get together the money for an apartment, attempt to find a place to be intimate. The Boatman explores the exploitation and humiliation of the weak and the poor.
