Description
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'.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.
