El Teatro 1919 is a multilingual political drama set during the British occupation of Egypt. A group of Egyptian artists struggle to keep their theatre open amidst censorship, occupation, and cultural erasure. Performed in Egyptian Arabic and English, the play blends rich historical context with urgent contemporary questions around identity, resistance, and belonging.

Layered with period Egyptian music and moments of stylised theatricality, the piece offers a bold, emotionally resonant experience that speaks directly to the complexity of colonial legacy—especially relevant in multicultural London.

El Teatro 1919 is a celebration of art as survival, a tribute to forgotten voices, and a reminder that stories from the margins have always fought to take centre stage
