Lebanese dramatist Rabih Mroue returns to Tokyo International Arts Festival this year with the world premiere of his new play, "How Nancy Wished that Everything was an April Fool's Joke," three years after making his TIF debut. It is a work that reflects the fluid situation of Lebanese society after 2006's summer of turmoil.
Mroue is one of the outstanding artists in the Middle East. Fortunately, he is also one its most "portable," since his experimental, individualistic plays of social commentary normally use few actors along with recorded images.
