A trilogy of plays by renowned Iraqi American playwright/performer Heather Raffo including '9 Parts of Desire', 'Fallujah', and 'Noura'. In these three works Raffo explores the indelible effects of war on Iraqis, Americans, and the refugees caught between the two cultures. When considered together, these three works give voice to nearly two decades of rarely examined traumas that have reshaped cultural and national identity for both Americans and Iraqis since the events of 9/11.8
