Break a leg, Al Sirah

Some shows stay with you. This autumn I'm cheering Al Sirah on from home.

Break a leg, Al Sirah

Some shows stay with you. Al Sirah Al Hilaliyah, Bashar Murkus's three-hour retelling of the Banu Hilal epic with Khashabi Theatre, is one of them. I toured with it as design assistant and stage manager, from the world premiere in Antwerp to Vienna in May.

This autumn I'm cheering from home while the company carries on through Spain and Portugal. To everyone on the road: break a leg, and may every night be a full house.
