Press Quotes
“Mr. El Guindi’s dialogue snaps and sparkles … Infectious laughter ripples throughout.” —The New York Times
“Seamlessly melds sexual and political themes until you realize they’re one in the same … A fascinating and unforgettable comedy.” —TheaterMania
“Whether you see Yussef El Guindi’s THREESOME as a sex play, a feminist play, an Arab-themed play, a geopolitical play, or just a play with genital-gazing opportunity, see it … not because it’s funny (though it certainly is), but because it’s interesting.” —Seattle Weekly
“A clever comedy of sexual manners encasing a provocative and explosive drama.” —The Seattle Times
“Playwright El Guindi has built an elaborate, intellectual, and dense treatise, where sex, international politics, and feminism intersect … Make no mistake; this show is worthy of your time and attention.” —The Portland Mercury
