Samira

Carmen Nasr's new play follows Syrian blogger Samira as protests sweep through Damascus during the Arab Spring. A group of London academics becomes absorbed in her first-hand account of revolution, only for Samira to disappear without trace. Inspired by real events, Emily Burns's production brings together May Calamawy, Joshua McGuire and Sirine Saba in a thriller about political upheaval, identity and who controls a story at a distance.
