We speak to Tariq Jordan about his incredible debut play, Ali & Dehlia, a Palestinian-Israeli love story set against the backdrop of the Israeli conflict. It's a story of love, sacrifice, and redemption that explores the loss of innocence, the longing for lost homelands, and the political forces that shape our lives.

We also speak to the cast, as well as getting the view from the audience.

Highly recommended - runs until April 14th 2019 at The Pleasance Theatre in London.

Directed by multiple award-winner Kerry Kyriacos Michael MBE.
