Description:

A celebrated, maverick playwright gets an unexpected call in the middle of the night, from a very old friend with an unusual request…

Two cousins bump into each other after an eternity apart… in the strangest of circumstances and the most surreal of settings.

Four Palestinian students are about to meet in a London Café to discuss putting up a show about Palestine… They share a love for their ancestral land… and almost nothing else… with very interesting consequences.

A theatre producer has 8 weeks to stage a play about Palestine but is struggling to find someone brave and visionary enough to write the script…

Idealism, anger, love, hate, cynicism, despair, hope, loss, nostalgia and resilience… Palestine meets Palestine in this Play within a Play.

The results are unpredictable, powerful and life-changing for all concerned.

"Four heartbeats, One Rhythm"
A maze of connections and loose ends
A multitude of layers… An infinity of interpretations
A love letter, a wake up call
About never giving up the very things that make you
Who you really are.

AL-ZAYTOUNA is a UK based Palestinian Dabke dance group which aims to provide diverse audiences the opportunity to experience Palestinian Dabke in a variety of performances, workshops and classes.

The members of the group are a mixture of Palestinian and other backgrounds who reside in the U.K and feel the necessity to promote Palestinian culture to the West.

Dabke is a good means to show Palestinian culture because of its artistic presentation of Palestinian life and celebrations especially in weddings, harvests and other symbols of regeneration.
