VIRTUAL READING of “The Story of Zahra” Presented by Uprising Theater in Chicago  Play written by Raeda Ghazaleh and Matthew Spangler; directed by Raeda Ghazaleh; based on the book by Hanan al-Shaykh.  

Date/Time: Thursday, March 4, 2021 4:00 PM - 6:15 PM  

The story of Zahara, set in the early years of the Lebanese civil war in Beirut, tells of a relationship between a young woman and a sniper operating on her street. The play explores Zahara’s attempts to not just survive the war, but make meaning in her life, despite the limited options available to her and their potentially tragic consequences. Produced at the Palestinian National Theater in East Jerusalem in 2020, this will be the first presentation of the play in North America.
