Rabih Mroué’s Play Unbanned

August 29, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui

Finally, the public uproar has forced the Sureté Generalle to allow the play “How Nancy Wished That It Was All An April Fool’s Joke” by Rabih Mroué to show after it had originally banned it

For all enthusiasts, it will be playing in Masrah Al Madina tomorrow.

The Sureté Generalle will discover to their detriment that banning is not only wrong, it also backfires. Many people who would never have wanted to see it will go tomorrow to watch it just for curiosity’s sake.
