The Shroud Maker
Hajja Souad sells shrouds for burying the dead in Gaza. They're always in
demand.
This compelling, moving black comedy inspired by a real-life character takes us on the 70 year journey of her life, weaving a harrowing story of courage, love, escape and disappointment with comic fantasy and true stories to create a vivid portrait of life in Palestine before the recent heartbreaking events.
Written and directed by Ahmed Masoud. Performed by Julia Tarnoky.
Audience comments:
'One of the most remarkable performances I have seen in theatre'
'Fantastic piece of theatre - an urgent, sometimes shocking narrative'
