A CRACK IN THE SKY, My conversation with Playwright Ahmed Yusuf, and Actor M Hajji
Tweet By Ahmed Ismail YusufDirected by Faye PriceFebruary 10–March 4, 2018 From Somalia to the U.S.A. 1984. A young shepherd boy stands in front of his mother to tell her of the decision he has made in the night. He has had enough of the nomadic life, of herding goats and sheep, and is leaving to seek out a better life. With that, he sets off on an adventure that takes him on the road less traveled from Somalia to Minnesota. It’s the epic tale of Ahmed Ismail Yusuf who, inspired by Maya Angelou, discovers the power of the written word.
