Exile is My Home
EXILE IS MY Four Plays by Domnica Radulescu. Scholar Christine Evans says 'Radulescu’s plays are carnivalesque, grotesquely comic, savagely sad and breath-taking in their imaginative scope. They bound over oceans, continents, planets, stifling small-town faculty meetings and the terrifying liminal spaces of the US border.' Domnica Radulescu is a Distinguished Service Professor of Comparative Literature in Lexington, VA. This is a NoPassport Press publication.

Finding home across planets and universes: With humor and a colorful expressive imagination, Domnica Radulescu explores what "exile" and "home" can mean in a delightful anthology of four plays. The theme is clear for the immigrant and refugee experience, but I believe everyone can relate to this message of looking for home. The jokes are both silly and fighting the patriarchy: a truly fabulous combination. A must-read for anyone interested in contemporary feminist playwriting!
