ARAB WOMEN TELL IT LIKE IT IS

Razor Sharp brings together three of London’s foremost Arab women writing for the stage today: Hannah Khalil,Yamina Bakiri and Malu Halasa. Myself and Jumaan will be bringing their writings. to life.

Collaborating with an Arab cast, and responding to current affairs with satire and humour, this new writing tackles topics ranging from the emergence of a new breed of Arab protester, the long wait for a president in America and Palestine, and a failed film project in Syria. The show is entirely written, directed, produced and acted by Arab women of the theatre industry.

I am super psyched to be part of this!
