From childlike wonder to the emotional depths
I already knew Mahmoud was a talented actor, but his ability to take us on this emotional journey was even more than I imagined. The way he's able to convey the enthusiasm and imagination of childhood and the horrors of domestic abuse, the way he switches between characters to create full scenes all by himself, and the way he uses props and lighting to evoke a full range of emotions is truly impressive. This piece had me laughing, gripping my seat, and on the edge of tears, so be sure to catch this show while it lasts and prepare yourself for a moving and satisfying emotional journey.

Clever, brilliantly performed, creatively staged
Loved this clever, cheeky, and sometimes zany story about the Gentleman Pirate and his relationship with Blackbeard. The script was wonderfully written, the actors all have fantastic performances with perfect timing and delivery, and I loved how they staged the play to convey settings and action much bigger than the space affords. Be sure to catch this one before it’s gone!
