Spun

Centaur Theatre
Another opening, but not just another show. This is an amazing tale of two friends, second-generation immigrants coming of age in an era right out of today’s headlines. Playwright Rabiah Hussain doesn’t miss a beat in her provocative script and the delivery of same by Amena Ahmad as Safa, and Sundance Nagrial as Aisha, never falters throughout the 90-minute performance. The two blend with an intensity that will have you laughing at their comedic moments, and bring you to tears with their more serious dialogue. No spoilers in this review. All I can say is don’t miss seeing it and be sure to tell your friends.
