Josh Azouz is a real and very distinctive talent. I loved The Mikvah Project and Buggy Baby, both of which premiered at the Yard. So, it’s good to see him making his Almeida debut, in a production by Eleanor Rhode, which is set in Nazi-occupied Tunisia in 1943. It is described as “a brutally comic play about home and identity, marriage and survival, blood and feathers.” An unlikely combination from a play that should live up to the hype.
About Once Upon A Time in Nazi Occupied Tunisia
“On the way over I saw three vipers copulating…I know what you’re thinking…monogamy is under threat.” 1943. Four months into the Nazi occupation of Tunisia. You’re imprisoned in a labour camp. You’re buried up to your neck in the middle of the burning hot desert. You’re dying of thirst, you miss your wife and your best friend just pissed on your face. How could things possibly get any worse? Eleanor Rhode directs the world premiere of Once Upon A Time in Nazi Occupied Tunisia – a brutally comic new play by Josh Azouz about home and identity, marriage and survival, blood and feathers. Josh Azouz’s plays include The Mikvah Project (Orange Theatre Theatre and Yard Theatre) and Buggy Baby (Yard Theatre). Eleanor Rhode has recently directed Rust (Bush Theatre/HighTide), King John (RSC) and Boudica (Shakespeare’s Globe). Age Recommendation: 14+
