The Mother of Kamal

Written by Dina Ibrahim
Directed by Stephen Freeman

It is 1948 in the slums of Baghdad. A working-class Jewish mother, Um-Kamal, finds her two sons arrested by the feared and loathed Secret Police. Inexplicably, the younger brother, Sasson, gets imprisoned, while Kamal, the older, is set free. Rumour and intrigue ensue, and Um-Kamal is reluctantly drawn into the orbit of the Communist Party, risking all to save her teenage sons and hold her rapidly fragmenting family together.

Decades later, conflicting family histories and narratives emerge, as the troubled Kamal finally faces a reckoning with the truth of what really happened following that night in the cells in Baghdad – and its impact on the family across time and space.

Following a sold-out run at the 2023 Camden Fringe, writer Dina Ibrahim brings a new, extended full-length telling of this powerful, poignant, warmly humorous, gently satirical, and intriguing piece of personal family history. Blending traditional narrative drama with elements drawn from classical, physical, epic and ensemble theatre, this is “theatre of the soul to sustain us… A symphony of survival” (International Times).

★★★★
“Surges with passion… intersperses beautifully judged comedy with the weightier elements of the piece.”

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD 

Following a brief five-star run in Southend last year, cult musical SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse this February for a strictly limited run.

The debut song-cycle from Tony Award® winner Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, Parade, Bridges of Madison County), SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD is an anthology of short stories told through song that takes audiences on a journey, teetering on the edge of one moment that can shape the rest of your life.

Featuring Musical Theatre fan favourites including ‘I’m Not Afraid of Anything’, ‘Stars and the Moon’ and ‘King of the World’, this production of SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD creatively explores the human condition from vastly different New World perspectives, from the deck of a 15th century ship to the window ledge of a modern day high-rise in Manhattan.

SONGS FOR A NEW WORLD

Originally Produced by the WPA Theatre, New York City, 1995

Original Orchestration by Brian Besterman and Jason Robert Brown
