We chat with actor and director Lillete Dubey after a gruelling 12-hour long rehearsal about her latest production, 9 Parts of Desire, yet she still sounds eager to talk about it. Based on the award-winning one-woman play by Heather Raffo, Dubey’s production will feature her daughter, Ira Dubey, portraying the lives of nine Iraqi women, spanning across different eras and ages, including that of a doctor, an artist, a child, a political exile and many others.
