"Blondie of Arabia has all the elements of what makes a monologue profound."

Two weeks before Christmas, and moments before the Arab Spring, Monica flew into the heart of the Persian Gulf to work a catering job at a royal wedding party and ended up biking across three countries in the Middle East. This quirky comedy chronicles the true story of her solo desert odyssey.
