Fundamentalisti New Yorkissa

Juha Jokelan näytelmä kerää kiitosta New York International Fringe Festivalilla.

The New Yorker nostaa Eva Buchwaldin englanniksi kääntämän ja Scandinavian American Theatre Companyn tulkitseman The Fundamentalistin yhdeksi festivaalin kohokohdista. Arvostettu kriitikko David Roberts on myös vaikuttunut näkemästään:

"However, beneath playwright Juha Jokela's carefully structured theological argument between Markus and Heidi simmers a history of emotional and psycho-sexual tension. Director Sebastian Nyman Agdur brings out the very best of script and actors in this must-see performance at the IATI Theatre.

What really happened or might have happened between Markus and Heidi will astound you and the ending of the play will linger with you for a very long time." (Lue koko arvostelu täältä.)
