Fabulous play ‘Noor’

Author: Daily Times

Sir: I had seen the play Noor before at American University’s Katzen theatre, but it was very different for me this time.

After the third time, if I watch the play, I will learn even more. Perhaps there will be a sequel, and we will learn how Noor’s life unfolds. Too often women are the untold story of the Middle East, and Islam. Akbar Ahmed is for me one of the heroes in this age for writing this play.
