Noor Theatre’s Highlight Reading Series with the SWANA Writer’s Co-Op

Chloé had an amazing time with Noor Theatre when and the SWANA Writer’s Co-Op for Noor’s Highlight Reading Series!

“An evening of 10-minute excerpts from plays written by Gregory Jafari Van Acker, Dalia Ashurina, Gamal ElSawah, Chloé Hayat, Olivia Khoshatefeh, Thalia Ranjbar and Monna Sabouri, and directed by SB Tennent and Kareem Fahmy. All of these artists are members of the SWANA Writers’ Co-op, a group for SWANA dialogue-based writers that regularly gathers with the support of Playwrights Horizons to share pages, receive feedback, offer and receive peer-mentorship, and support each other’s writing processes. The group was originally created by Kareem Fahmy and May Treuhaft-Ali and is horizontally led, collectively operated, and contingent on writers’ willingness to volunteer their time toward each other’s artistic growth.” -Noor Theatre

On this website, you'll also find an array of other materials - historical context, biographies of various women's rights leaders - to which we'll continue to add in the coming weeks (including interviews with the cast). We hope this will enhance the viewing experience.

Chloé conducted interviews with the incredible cast of 10, curated, researched, and wrote contextual dramaturgical materials for the website including biographies of warriors for gender equality, a timeline of Civil and Voting Rights in America, documented the unique and winding path this play took to come to fruition, and much more! Check out the wonderful, powerful, buoyant play The Woman’s Party and take a look at Chloé’s dramaturgy here.

…and if you loved The Woman’s Party and are dying to know which character you’re most like, here’s a fun personality quiz Chloé and Writer’s assistant Madeline Mehrer created for the website.

Hit & Run Reading Series with Theater Accident

The Chain Theater, Monday January 13, 2o2o @7pm-

Theater Accident begins the new Hit & Run Reading Series, presenting exciting new plays and playwrights with no guardrails and no seat belts!

First up!

His Majesty, Herself by Chloe Hayat
The Female Pharaoh Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple was discovered in 1927 by a really white and very male Egyptologist in the most offensively Khaki outfit you have ever seen. He and his White Male Egyptologist friends decided that Hatshepsut was the ultimate evil queen as she clearly had deceived her subjects into thinking they had a very male king, she obviously kept her young virile step-son from his rightful throne, and was probably super queer. But Hatshepsut’s legacy speaks for itself. Or she hopes it does. Hatshepsut and her Close Female Friend Who Slept in Her Bed and was Buried Alongside Her ushered in an age of flourishing art, architecture, wealth, extravagance, and women in positions of incredible power. So yeah, I guess that would translate as “evil" to a knobby kneed white dude and his buds. His Majesty, Herself rediscovers Hatshepsut’s 20 year reign over Upper and Lower Egypt through a modern lens.
