Mabrouk
Brighton People’s Theatre wants to welcome people who speak Arabic and people with heritage from Arabic speaking countries into its theatre making community. To do this we are inviting people with heritage from Arabic speaking countries to co-create a new show called ‘Mabrouk’.
We are going to run 12 workshops from February – April 2025 to support the writer, Suhayla El-Bushra, to write an original script for a new show.
Come and be part of the creative process. Each workshop will be repeated twice on the same day (either 12 – 2 pm or 6 – 8 pm) so that people with different caring and work responsibilities can hopefully come to one of the workshops. Come and play.
All workshops will be held at Friends Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AF.
