The Fatwa of Corpsman Johnny Jones- Shoptalk

On Wednesday, June 23rd I was part of a night of readings featuring the plays of Greg Oliver Bodine. I played Nasima, a young, girl’s teacher Johnny had befriended during his tour on Afghanistan. Suffering from an injury and PTSD, Johnny relays his relationship with Nasima to his father in the middle of the night.

I feel such gratitude to have the opportunity to portray a brave educator who is a real casualty of war and to be part of a night filled with beautiful storytelling and community.
