A platform for stories unheard: Global Voices is a theater project working with international playwrights to showcase plays in translation and from the wider English-speaking world through rehearsed reading events.

Following a worldwide call-out, Global Arab Female Voices in partnership with AWAN will showcase excerpts of up to 5 plays from Arab writers around the globe. Curated by Taghrid Choucair-Vizoso, producer of Shubbak Festival and director of At Home in Gaza and London, the event will also include a post-performance discussion about the plays featured and the common themes unearthed.

Come and discover five excerpts of plays never before staged in the UK:

The Manual of Little Wars by Chrystèle Khodr (Lebanon) translated by Katharine Halls, directed by Sara Aniqa Malik  
Ordinary People by Zainab Magdy (Egypt) translated by Zainab Magdy & Katharine Halls, directed by Diyan Zora  
Noura by Heather Raffo (IUSA-Iraq) directed by Layla Madanat  
A Sheep Chase by Amiya Nagpal (UAE) directed by Beverly Andrews  
Them by Samah Sabawi (Australia-Palestine)
