Scouting for Actors

Scouting for Actors

This was our first day on the ground in Beirut. We had planned for it to be quite challenging given the intangible nature of the concept; we knew that none of these women will have been to the theatre before and that many would be unable to read and write. And even if they are interested there is the added difficulty of convincing their husbands/fathers/brothers to allow them to do it. So how is it possible that it only takes one visit to the camp and we've got our actors?!
