Layla and Majnun

"Love is fire; I am the wood that is reduced to ashes by its flames. Love has razed to the ground the very temple of my being; my soul has gathered together its belongings and moved on. Do you think that it is me that you see here before you?"

Layla and Majnun (مجنون و ليلى) is the classic Persian love story - Lord Byron described it as the “Romeo and Juliet of the East.” This show presents a stage adapted version of the eponymous poem by Nizami Ganjavi accompanied by live musicians. All profits from this production will be donated to support BabyFist’s Menstrual Education Campaign, an educational campaign which they run at public schools in the occupied West Bank in Palestine.

We are pretty certain this show was cancelled but it might had been performed at the Scottish Poetry Library
