Nine Parts of Desire November 16, 2010

LSU presents 'Nine Parts of Desire,' written by Heather Raffo and directed by Josephine Hall. As topical as today's headlines, 'Nine Parts of Desire' is a work so compassionate, so heartbreaking, so soul-shatteringly human, that it promises to change forever the way you'll think about the women (indeed, the people) of the Mideast. A portrait of the extraordinary -- and ordinary -- lives of a whole cross-section of Iraqi women, this solo work lifts the veil on exactly what it means to be a woman in the age-old war zone that is Iraq.
