Written by Sulayman Al Bassam the story is set inside a totalitarian state, somewhere in the Arab World, all forms of theatre have been banned but there remains a classic that won’t be quelled. Loosely based in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night this dark satire takes a look a the political inertia that has fed recent revolts in the region.
Performed in Arabic with English subtitles. Discussion with writer and cast after performance.
