Pittsburgh International Classic Theatre is showing Sedef Ecer’s play “First Lady.” WQED-FM’s Melissa Black interviewed the playwright Sedef Ecer, the translator for the play Amelia Parenteau, and PICT’s Artistic Director Elizabeth Elias Huffman, who is also acting the lead role in the play. A satirical romp, First Lady Ishtar is oblivious to the ensuing uprising around her, as she becomes the unwitting catalyst for an explosive reaction. Directed by Adil Mansoor, First Lady’s timely production speaks to the delusive nature of power, corruption, and cronyism in a scathing, hilarious critique of this seminal moment in global politics.
