This June, Alserkal Avenue is hosting its production of 'A Behanding in Spokane' by the award-winning playwright Martin McDonagh. Directed by Gautam Goenka, the black comedy follows Carmichael, a mysterious man who has been seeking his missing left hand for 27 years. His search leads him to Toby and Marilyn, a bickering couple, who claim to have exactly what he’s looking for in hopes to collect Carmichael’s promised reward. When the quirky hotel clerk Mervyn gets involved, things begin to go a little awry.

'A Behanding in Spokane' originally premiered on Broadway in February 2010 to critical acclaim. It starred celebrated actors Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell and Anthony Mackie. Alserkal Avenue’s adaptation features local talents Justin Cipriano, Khalid Bilal, Carine Bouery and Arjun Burman.
