“When you held the knife to my throat…I was no longer a human being”

The story of Abraham and Isaac is told in both the Bible and the Koran.

When Abraham returns home from a journey with his son, his wife is troubled by the boy’s state of mind. What took place on the mountain that day is the beginning of a lifetime of suffering and the dawn of a new age for millions.

Under the direction of Amir Nizar Zuabi, trailblazing Palestinian theatre company ShiberHur returns to London.
