Photo Flash: In Rehearsal for Kieran Hurley's AN INJURY at Ovalhouse
Ovalhouse and Permanent Red present AN INJURY, a new play about violence and love from the award-winning team behind Heads Up, written by Kieran Hurley and directed by alex swift at Ovalhouse, running 18-22 July, with press night on 19th July 2017. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the company in rehearsal below!
Morvern wants to get up and walk away from this desk. Danny wants to write something revolutionary. Joe wants to protect what good we still have left. And then there's Isma. We don't know much about Isma. We know she's twelve. We know she speaks only Arabic. We know she's here. And we know she's watching. Here, in this room, four speakers pick through the fragments of four shattered lives.
After their award-winning collaboration on Heads Up, writer Kieran Hurley (Beats, Hitch) and director alex swift (How to Win Against History, Mess) team up once again, to create a thrilling new play about violence, love, the distance between us, and the harm we do to each other.
The cast includes Khalid Abdalla, British Egyptian actor and activist best known for starring in the award winning film, United 93. He also starred in The Kite Runner and acted with Matt Damon in Green Zone. Abdalla appears as himself in Jehane Noujaim's documentary on the ongoing Egyptian revolution, The Square, which won the Audience Award at Sundance Festival in 2013. Abdalla is on the board of the National Student Drama Festival and is one of the founding members of the Mosireen Collective in Cairo: a group of revolutionary filmmakers and activists dedicated to supporting citizen media across Egypt in the wake of Mubarak's fall. Three months after it began, Mosireen became the most watched non-profit YouTube channel in Egypt of all time, and in the whole world in January 2012.
