Wedding Day at the Cro-Magnons cover

As the bombs fall in Lebanon, a family prepares for their narcoleptic daughter's wedding feast. There's a main course that won't die, a bride who cannot stay awake and the small matter of an absent bridegroom... An audacious and anarchic comedy

Play from Wajdi Mouawad translated by Shelley Temperman for the stage. "Why is the war so beautiful? Why can't I take my eyes off it? These fireworks! It's so enthralling mama, I'm kneeling, wide awake, at the wide open window, enraptured by the horror! Oh, it's so hard to keep my eyes closed!" Nelly in Wedding Day at the Cro-Magnons"As the bombs fall in Lebanon, a family prepares for their narcoleptic daughter's wedding feast. There's a main course that won't die, a bride who cannot stay awake and the small matter of an absent bridegroom...An audacious and anarchic comedy from a writer who knows first-hand what it feels like to be caught in a war-zone."
