Sami Ibrahim Livres

A poetic fable for the stage, about an impenetrable immigration system that mirrors our own.

Exploring the intricate dynamics of humanitarian work, this play weaves together themes of roleplay, desire, and compassion. Set against a backdrop of real-world challenges, it delves into the emotional and ethical complexities faced by those involved in aid efforts. Premiered at The Yard Theatre in London in 2024, the narrative offers a thought-provoking examination of the motivations and dilemmas that shape the lives of humanitarian workers.

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. It was the winner of the Theatre Uncut Political Playwriting Award 2019 and is premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in May 2022.
