Heather Raffo (she/her) is an Iraqi American playwright and actress living in New York.

How do individuals and families make those adjustments without completely losing their identities? That’s perhaps the deepest underlying question in Noura.
Review: In ‘Noura,’ an Iraqi Refugee Leaves More Than Home Behind
What does it mean to say an actor is radiant in a role? In the case of Heather Raffo’s performance as the title character in “Noura,” which opened on Monday at Playwrights Horizons, it doesn’t mean outgoing or gracious or glamorous. In fact, Noura is pensive and prickly. And though she dresses smartly, in clothing befitting a modern architect, the emphasis is on cut and line, not display. Same with her home: an abstraction of unplastered lath, partly unfinished and partly a fantasy.
