Bitterenders

Join in for the second and final reading by emerging Arab playwrights as part of our collaboration with Sandpit Productions’ Bulbul Playwriting Competitions. The Bulbul Playwriting Competition invites writers from around the world to submit short plays in response to a theme about the Arab world and it’s surrounding regions. The second reading to be presented at The Mosaic Rooms is ‘Bitterenders’ by Hannah Khalil.

Inspired by a true story, Bitterenders is a dark comedy about a family of Palestinians who find themselves forced to share their home with Jewish settlers by a court ruling. When the daughter, Maha, crosses the imposing chalk line separating her family from the interlopers, she discovers something that threatens to destroy this already fragile home altogether.
