À propos de cet e-book

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.

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.
