ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT

Liwaa Yazji is a Syrian filmmaker, playwright, TV screenwriter, dramaturge and poet. She spent her early years in Moscow before her family moved back to syria. She studied English Literature at Damascus University and Theater Studies at the Higher Institute for Dramatic Arts. Most of her works are about the cruelty of the war in Syria and are strictly anti-war. Some of her works include “Here in the Park”, “In Peace We Leave Home”, “The Brothers”, “Haunted”, ”Goats”, “Q & Q” and “Waiting for the guests.”

ABOUT THE PLAY

“Goats” explores the absurdity of war and the lies we choose to believe as a society. Set in a Syrian village where goats are given to the families of fallen soldiers. When first staged, the play used live goats, adding a sense of realism and unintended comedy. Inspired by real villages and true events, the narrative delves into the horrors, compromises, and absurdity of war. 

JOIN PLAY DATE

Play Date is a monthly play reading activity, held on the third Thursday of each month.  We read one play from around the world together. The play reading is followed by a group discussion about the play. Anyone is welcome to join and practice reading out loud, regardless of experience or level of English comprehension. With Play Date, learning English becomes fun. This is a place where you can practice speaking out loud, expand your vocabulary and meet new people. Play Date is produced by Crane Creations Theatre Company. Crane Creations is an immigrant led professional theatre company located in Mississauga, Ontario Canada. Join us for our next Play Date!
