"For me I put myself in the shoes of an Afghan who comes and sees the play and they want to feel like they understand what is happening in this world and if you don't have the language, the costume, the actors that really represent that culture  it can really take you away from that experience so for me it was to honor my culture, to honor the Afghan people and make sure that how they are represented on stage is accurate."
