Overview
Sometimes only the truth can save us.
Set in Damascus in 2011, as protests spread through the streets, the play follows Samira, a charismatic, radical and funny figure who gives an unfiltered account of events as they happen. Written by Carmen Nasr, the writer behind Under the Shadow, it is presented as a new play.
Far from the city, a group of London academics follow the story in real time until Samira vanishes. Emily Burns directs the production, and the cast includes May Calamawy (Moon Knight), Joshua McGuire (Anatomy of a Scandal) and Sirine Saba (Phaedra). Burns's credits include Dear Octopus.
The Dorfman Theatre, part of the National Theatre complex on the South Bank in SE1, hosts the production.
