SEEDS OF TIME FESTIVAL Curated by Aejay Antonis Marquis Sponsored by Play On Shakespeare Six new plays developed over three weeks. This second annual festival invites audiences to explore the collision of fresh contemporary voices with classic stories. A living laboratory of imagination, craft, and bold new directions for the theatre. All Tickets are Choose Your Price I Am Not Mine By SEVAN I Am Not Mine is a myth-inflected drama set years after the Syrian revolution, inside a walled refugee city where the past has been sealed in but not silenced. When Abdul-Rahim, a once-revered rebel leader imprisoned for 13 years, returns to what is left of his family, he finds children shaped by hunger, trauma, and rage and a wife who moves through the story like an avenging spirit. The play asks what “freedom” costs when survival becomes a prison, and whether language, love, or vengeance can ever repair what war has unmade. Engaging with Aeschylus’s Oresteia and Sophocles’s Philoctetes SEVAN (Playwright - I Am Not Mine) is an immigrant Arab-South Asian actor-writer whose work has been developed and produced in New York and London.
