This fearless new play examines the unifying power of storytelling as ancient tales are reclaimed, rewritten and reimagined by Globe Resident Writer, Hannah Khalil.
Hakawati Noun: Storyteller. From the Arabic terms 'hekaye' meaning story and 'haki' meaning to talk. A tyrant revenges his wife’s infidelity by wedding, bedding and beheading a new bride every day. Years later, only five brides-in-waiting remain. These women are unapologetic, and united in their fight to keep themselves – and the whole of womankind – alive. They’ve got other ideas for their future, and it starts with a story... This fearless new play, a co-production with Tamasha, is written by Globe Resident Writer Hannah Khalil. This edition is published to coincide with the world premiere at the Globe Theatre, London, in December 2022.
