This fascinating one-day experience will include practical workshops delivered by Khayaal Theatre Company exploring interpretations of Shakespeare in the context of the Arab Spring. Participants will also exercise their own drama skills as they learn about the many faces of Hamlet in Arab theatre.
Award-winning Kuwaiti playwright and theatre director Sulayman al-Bassam, whose work as Artistic Director of Sulayman al Bassam Theatre (SABAB) has achieved worldwide acclaim with Arabic adaptations of Richard III and Hamlet will also be running a series of interactive discussions and debates.
This is a strictly one-off event and will suit people of all ages and backgrounds who share a passion for great literature.
