At last work has begun at Al Madina Theatre in Beirut! The nerves are beginning to show across the team, especially for the women as they prepare to step out on stage for the first time in their lives.

For those of you who speak Arabic take a look at our Antigone of Syria Facebook page for exclusive behind the scenes content curated by our wonderful actresses. And anyone else can also keep up to date on our Aperta Productions Facebook page, with articles interviews and photos from rehearsals.

Thank you so much for the fantastic contributions we have received so far - it is down to you that we have managed to book such a magnificent theatre - but once the show is complete we will need to keep supporting our actresses in ongoing workshops, so please head over to the JustGiving page and give anything you can - we are eternally grateful for your generosity!

Finally, for those of you interested in buying tickets for the show please visit the Ticket Information page >>
