DESCRIPTION:A powerful staged reading of Tales of a City by the Sea by Samah Sabawi comes to Dublin, featuring Palestinian performers, live music, choreography, and immersive visual storytelling.\nThis staged reading includes Palestinian actors, musicians and performers who are part of Palestinian Cultural Days Dublin ( https://palestinianculturaldaysdublin.com/ ), alongside choreography, staging and visual elements, offering audiences an immersive and emotionally resonant experience of this significant work.\nAbout the Play\nTales of a City by the Sea is a gripping and intimate portrait of life in Gaza before, during, and after the 2008–2009 bombardment.\nThe play follows Jomana, a Palestinian woman living in the Shati (Beach) refugee camp in Gaza, who falls in love with Rami — an American-born doctor and activist of Palestinian descent who arrives aboard the first Free Gaza boats in 2008.\nThrough their relationship, the play explores:\n\n\nThe connection between Palestinians in the diaspora and those living under occupation\n\n\nLove and longing across borders\n\n\nSurvival, resilience, and resistance\n\n\nThe human cost of war\n\n\nRather than focusing solely on politics, Sabawi’s work centres the everyday lives, dreams, and humanity of ordinary people.\n\n“Sabawi has created an enthralling landscape and peopled it with believable characters… It’s a gripping piece of theatre that begs to be seen and heard.” – Adelaide Theatre Guide\n\nAbout the Playwright – Samah Sabawi\nSamah Sabawi is an award-winning Palestinian playwright, poet, scholar, and political commentator. Her work weaves together art and resistance, creating powerful expressions of identity, memory, and hope.\n
