Description

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.
