Following his performance of multi-award winning Bahraini poet Qassim Haddad’s masterpiece Chronicles of Majnun Layla, Amer Hlehel, the actor and writer of ★★★★★ Taha (Young Vic) will be in conversation about this incredible retelling of the classic love story with live music.
The story of love, passion, eroticism and unfulfilled desire, often described as the Arab Romeo and Juliet, is radically reinterpreted with an original soundscore and accompaniment from Rihab Azar and Kareem Samara on electronic and acoustic Oud, who will both join Hlehel on the panel. Join us immediately after the show for this fascinating discussion.
This conversation will be chaired by Ellen McDougall , Artistic Director of the Gate.
