    I wasn't sure exactly what to expect but I was truly blown away! It was clear that each and every person involved in the production was not only talented but had put in their all, leading to something which I will never forget. The atmosphere, music, the acting, the stories within stories kept me at the edge of my seat, enthralled. This was a story with layers that women of all backgrounds and ages could identify with and the sisterhood amongst the characters and performers brought imagination to life. I also loved how the Arabic words, phrases, gestures and songs added authenticity. Thank you for one of the best and thought-provoking shows I have seen in a long time.

    Took my girlfriend to watch this and it completely exceeded our expectations. So wonderful to see such talented Arab women on stage, they were delightful to watch and listen to, true hakawatis. The stories were thoroughly entertaining and the intimacy of the set makes you feel as though you are sitting around a table with your friends, drinking arak, eating mezza and telling stories. Would highly recommend. Thank you ladies for a truly incredible evening filled with laughter and warmth.
