MAJENIN – A Palestinian Love Story is a solo theatre and stand-up performance written and performed by Marena Riyad, presented by Kufiya Comedy, Pleasance, Aisha Josiah, and Passion Pit Theatre at the venue known as 10 Dome. Running for 75 minutes, it follows two fools torn between New York, London and Palestine, who find their only true home inside their shared madness. Directed by Justin Butcher and produced by Aisha Josiah, the show blends theatre and stand-up into an intimate, satirical, poetic form. The title means 'crazy people' in Arabic. Suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
An intimate, funny and poetic show that refuses to reduce its characters to their politics. Marena Riyad brings vulnerability and sharp wit to a love story that locates home not in geography but in shared madness — a genuinely unusual mix of stand-up and theatre.
