About Randa Jarrar, Welcome to the Fringe
The Last Palestinian Alive is a science-fiction solo show by Randa Jarrar, presented by Welcome to the Fringe.

She wakes in 2055 to find she is the last person on Earth, and befriends an AI companion carrying the consciousness of Italian legal scholar Francesca Albanese. Through Francesca's history channels, Asheerah learns how the world ended and how those who resisted ensured justice was carried out. The show runs for 60 minutes at the Town Hall and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
