The Play

    • ‘You believe art is a job...art is creativity, the stage is the sound of people on the streets. We’re the consciousness of people. On the stage we learn how to get out of ourselves...’

      A young ambitious actor prepares for the stage with his make-up artist. Over the course of their conversation, each begins to question the roles they play in their lives.

      Talal Mahmoud’s The Play addresses the position of theatre and the place of women in the Arab world.
