Theater Review: ‘Noura’
(L–R) Maryam (Dahlia Azama) visits with the Iraqi-American family, who include Tareq (Nabil Elouahabi), his wife Noura (Heather Raffo), and their son Yazen (Liam Campora), as well as the family’s friend Rafa'a (Matthew David), in “Noura.” Joan Marcus

NEW YORK—Actor and playwright Heather Raffo has created an Iraqi family that has come to New York and put down roots. Or, after eight years of residence, at least they’re still working on it.

Apparently quite successful, judging from what Andrew Lieberman’s simple set implies, Noura (Raffo) works as an architect in New York, and her husband Tareq  (Nabil Elouahabi) is caring and supportive. What then is the problem?
