Hakawatis: Women Of The Arabian Nights Tickets

Hakawatis: Women Of The Arabian Nights is a compelling, intimate stage experience created through a collaboration between Tamasha Theatre and Shakespeare's Globe. Written by Hannah Khalil and directed by Pooja Ghai, this production features live oud music by Kareem Samara and a talented ensemble including Houda Echouafni, Alaa Habib, Laura Hanna, Roann Hassani McCloskey, and Nadi Kemp-Sayfi. Critics have described it as witty, powerful, and deeply moving, blending myth, storytelling, and contemporary perspectives from Arab women’s voices.

While the initial Summer/Winter 2022–23 run at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse showcased the show in an intimate, candlelit setting, the production remains a landmark example of cross-cultural theatre that brings traditional storytelling into a modern frame.
