When Yasser decides to take part in itikaf, sleeping and fasting in the mosque for the last ten nights of Ramadan, he soon regrets his decision. But as he navigates smug worshippers, shared bathrooms, and recurring thoughts of chunky chips, Yasser’s isolation forces him to confront a side of himself he’s been trying to keep hidden.
A moving and funny play, 10 Nights is the story of one man’s journey of self-discovery, and facing the consequences of your actions.
10 NIGHTS was originally developed through Graeae Theatre Company's 'Write to Play Programme'. It ran at the Bush Theatre in 2021 in a prodction co-produced by Graeae and Tamasha, in association with the Bush Theatre.
