Full House for Cinema Initiative Screening

There was a full house tonight for the Westport Cinema Initiative screening of the 2005 film “The War Within” at the Westport Country Playhouse Barn. Written by Ayad Akhtar, a Pulitzer prize-winning playwright, the film provides insights into the Muslim experience in the United States. It was held in conjunction with the Playhouse production of “The Invisible Hand” by the same author and included a talkback with its director, David Kennedy, and Westport filmmaker Doug Tirola.
