Description

Baghdaddy by Jasmine Naziha Jones is a playfully devastating coming-of-age story that explores the complexities of cultural identity, generational trauma and a father-daughter relationship amidst global conflict. Told through clowning and memory, this powerful tale delves into the experiences of an 8-year-old girl who discovers her Iraqi heritage in the midst of the Gulf War. As she navigates her newfound identity, Darlee must confront the fears and anxieties that haunt her family. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre in November 2022, offering a unique insight into the play's origins and themes. A poignant and thought-provoking exploration of growing up and finding one's place in the world, Baghdaddy is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in drama, literary criticism, or performing arts.
