“They talk about the right to return. No one talks about our right to love.”

The Palestinian rom-com you’ve been waiting for.

Majenin means “crazy people” in Arabic. A tale of two fools who dare to love in a world obsessed with their sadness, MAJENIN follows two Palestinian artists swept into an intoxicating romance, where modern love collides with cultural expectations, displacement and an uncertain future.

Blending stand-up comedy with intimate storytelling, Palestinian writer-performer Marena Riyad delivers a darkly funny, tender play that makes space for Palestinian stories filled with love, laughter, desire and the beautiful madness of finding someone who feels like home.

Come see MAJENIN at Theatre503, London, 23–28 November, following a critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe run.
