Moon and Stars Project is proud to co-sponsor the first United States staged reading of Turkish playwright Özen Yula’s Concubine Sultan Hürrem, presented by LaGuardia Performing Arts Center.The play is based on the life of the legendary 16th-century figure Hürrem Sultan, the spouse of Süleyman the Magnificent, and rumored to be of Polish descent.

Özen Yula is an internationally successful writer and director, whose plays have been translated to English, German, French, Italian, Finnish, Polish, Bulgarian, Bosnian, Japanese, and Arabic. His work is dark, comical, visually daring, and at the forefront of the avant-garde.

Zishan Uğurlu is an actor, director and curator. She teaches full time at Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts. She is the artistic director of Actors Without Borders–ITONY.

Partial funding for LaGuardia Performing Arts Center provided by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and New York Community Trust.
