A STONE THROWN AT THE GUILTY
a new play by Nuruddin Farah
A Stone Thrown at the Guilty is inspired by two historical uprisings in
Somalia under British rule. In Farah’s
hands, the story veers sharply from
the usual narratives of heroic resistance.
Presented by the College of
Liberal Arts Winton Chair, with
the departments of English
and Theatre Arts and Dance.
No tickets necessary.
