Babel theatre continues to give a platform for Lebanon's latest shows with the hit production directed by Nabil Al Azan and starring Randa Asmar. Written by Hoda Barakat, 'Viva La Diva' is a black comedy (and 'red tragedy') that tells the story of a Lebanese diva: an actress who, when faced with the death of her father, decides to leave Lebanon for Canada rather than face the tears she cannot cry.

The play will run part of the Arab Festival of Theatre in Beirut. For more information and reservation call 01 1744033
