Beyond London

ARAB THEATRE IN THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE

London is home to a number of Arab writers, actors, producers and directors. A new generation of Arab theatre is being produced and touring in European countries. Festivals like Shubbak regularly invite theatre from the Arab region.

How do UK’s Arab theatre artists connect internationally? What are the issues for working across borders and genres? How local or international is London’s Arab theatre?

Hear and discuss these urgent issues with leading practitioners. Participating writers and producers include Hassan Abdulrazzak, Sabrina Mahfouz, Alia Alzougbi plus international guests.
