Frame Work: New play shows the human impacts of drone warfare

• The production also features live music from the U.S. and Middle East, and involves a temple to an Egyptian goddess, Elvis impersonators and a sex worker.

Between the lines: Presented by the Dearborn-based Arab American National Museum, "Drone" is written by award-winning playwright Andrea Assaf.

• Assaf worked on the project during an artist residency with the museum.

What they're saying: Assaf said in a news release that Dearborn and Metro Detroit were the "perfect place" for "Drone" to be conceived and premiere.

• "We are creating a new performance about global wars that are happening right now, while they are happening, with the communities who are most impacted by them," Assaf said. "We are investigating this technology while it is escalating."

If you go: "Drone" is showing July 31–Aug. 2 at 7pm and Aug. 3 at 2pm.

• Tickets are $25 for the general public and $15 for museum members. Thursday's performance is $10.
