As the bombs fall in Lebanon, the Cro-Magnon family prepare for their narcoleptic daughter’s wedding feast. There are family feuds. The potatoes are rotten and the main course won’t die. And there’s the small matter of an absent bride groom...

An audacious and bitter comedy from a writer who knows first-hand what it feels like to be caught in a war zone. This is internationally award-winning writer Wajdi Mouawad’s UK debut.

'Laughter ruptures like a pin-pricked balloon... sheds light on the dark recesses of Lebanese history, and humanity.'

Time Out

'Patricia Benecke's energetically acted production has a horrible hilarity... A luridly memorable and alarming visit to besieged suburbia.'
