About Welcome to the Fringe
KeffIyeh: Made in China is a 60-minute political theatre programme from Welcome to the Fringe, performed at Town Hall. The evening presents Craving Mangoes — a play by Palestinian playwright Dalia Taha, whose work has been staged at the Royal Court — alongside the second episode of a collection of short plays, testimonies and a poem by Mahmoud Darwish. Craving Mangoes follows a nameless couple outside a vault who cannot bring themselves to confirm the identity of an unidentified young body. A surreal psychological thriller exploring loss, denial and grief. Suitable for ages 18 and over with content warnings for potentially distressing themes.
Why see this show?
A double bill rooted in Palestinian voices — Dalia Taha's surreal, grief-stricken drama paired with short plays and poetry. Theatre that asks difficult questions with an unflinching but considered hand.
