Theatre Uncut Political Playwriting Award - 2019
The year is 2043, and Reem and her husband Sayeed are going to share a
'Serious Play about Palestine'. Things are tense. People are on the
edge. The Fifth Intifada is right around the corner. But on a contested
piece of land near their village of Beit al-Qadir, Reem and Sayeed are
about to go dogging. Don't worry, you're allowed to laugh.
Sami Ibrahim's play two Palestinians go dogging uses the lens of
humour to explore how the everyday becomes political and the political
becomes everyday in a conflict zone.
The play premiered in May 2022 at the Royal Court Jerwood Theatre
Upstairs, London, directed by Omar Elerian.
