The
Green Line

The Green Line is a play by Makram Ayache, translated by Hiba Sleiman and produced by Jo Tannous. It moves between 1978 Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War and a contemporary queer nightclub, following Rami, Naseeb and Mona as grief, secrecy and family history draw them across the country's dividing line. Rami, a queer Lebanese Canadian, returns to the mountains to bury his father and later finds himself in a Beirut nightclub, where he meets the drag queen Fifi. In 1978, Naseeb tries to take his sister Mona out of Beirut while she resists leaving because of her love for Yara. The performance is The Understudy's fourth DAREDEVIL entry.
