"Savagely funny and visionary new work of American theater... A majestic, richly conceived play with fanciful humor and clear-eyed compassion”
– The New York Times
“A gripping, ferocious new drama… Refreshingly topical and stylistically daring, Bengal Tiger never loses its sense of wonder or humor.”
– Time Out New York
Two US Marines and an Iraqi translator are thrust into a world of greed, mystery and betrayal after an encounter with a now-deceased but still very pissed-off tiger. The streets of war-torn Baghdad are filled with ghosts, riddles and wry humor in this ground-breaking play that explores the power and perils of human nature.
