Jasmine Naziha Jones’s debut is a memory play set against the backdrop of the Gulf War. Living in the U.K., eight-year-old Darlee slowly pieces together what a war is—and what it means—through clips she catches on television and the fearful tone of her father’s phone conversations. It is at this moment, when Iraq is invading Kuwait, that Darlee realizes she’s half-Iraqi. Milli Bhatia directs. —Jensen Davis
