Ahmed Kouddous ‘09 has joined the cast of “The Mysteries” at the Flea Theatre in New York, New York. According to a review by the online publication Theater Pizzazz!, the production, which centers on the Bible and was created and directed by Ed Sylvanus Iskandar, “sweeps away the mustiness and hype and makes the Bible not only exciting, but sensual and contemporary. These 54 actors and 48 playwrights have fashioned an epic in the same league as the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Nicholas Nickleby and the Steppenwolf’s Grapes of Wrath. The wisdom of the playwrights and the vivacity and dedication of this huge cast of very hardworking actors take the audience on this totally involving magic carpet ride. This panoply of well-worn, cliché-ridden mythology becomes a totally involving drama in the hands of this troupe.”
