Shakespeare meets the Middle East in this 2008 Edinburgh Fringe hit. An opporunity to see the work of one of the Netherlands' leading writers - in English!
Yasser, a young and idealistic Palestinian actor, is preparing to play the archetypal Jew, Shylock. But he's just been robbed of all his props and costume.
A poignant and playful monologue about identity, acting and a pound of flesh, and about why the Arab understands Shylock better than anyone else.
"Pick of the festival" The Times Critical List.
After-show discussion Friday, 27th November.
