The Thief of Baghdad presents
Becoming Scheherazade
Magic and reality collide as one British Arab navigates the voyages of Sindbad the Sailor and tries to make sense of his own family's relationship to their migration from Iraq to the UK.
In August 2017 Cultural Spring supported a group of South Tyneside residents to go to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to look for a special show to bring home. They fell in love with Kamaal Hussains moving account of growing up feeling different, and are delighted to be able to share it with you, their friends and neighbours. This show is suitable for ages 16+ due to some adult subject matter.
They describe Becoming Scheherazade as:
an incredible story told with dignity
a deeply personal and uplifting show
Absolutely brilliant
Told with warmth and humour by a master storyteller, performances of Becoming Scheherazade are followed by a Middle East inspired feast (included in the ticket price), and an opportunity to share more stories with Kamaal.
Kamaal Hussain has 25 years experience as an actor and director working in theatre and television. Credits include The New Statesman national tour with Rik Mayall as an actor, and directing shows for Forced Entertainment, Londons New Diorama, and Leicester Haymarket. Kamaal is currently Artistic Director of Thief of Baghdad, the theatre company set up in 2016 in order to make Becoming Scheherazade.
