Episode Details

In the early lockdowns I wrote a play for a group of a Arabic actors who wanted to stage a play about an honour killing.

The challenge was to create a play which would allow the West to understand how they happened, without condoning it, and to also make the play palatable, not to heavy.

The Director was a Mo Hash

The actors came on board from all over the world and we recorded it over zoom.

Creating theatre in lockdown.

And an enormous thank you to all the actors and especially Mo Hash for making all this possible.

It's rare to meet someone who sleeps less than me.

Again we had actors in the USA, London, Egypt and Australia.

Incredible.

What a World we live in.
