GAZA A Story of Love and War
Saturday February 21st – 7.30pm

Three generations – Two films – One conflict

In this remarkable series of filmed encounters, Gaza journalist Sami Abu Salem and Welsh Jewish journalist and historian Mike Joseph, explore three generations of their family inheritances, two families brought together by a century-old conflict.

Shot in 2023 in Gaza and Britain, the first film, GAZA A Story of Love and War, tells how Mike discovered the family connection that led him to Sami, and Sami then tells how his mother became a refugee in 1948, how he grew up in Gaza and learnt about his inheritance, and movingly shares his dream of a life of coexistence.

At that point in October 2023, the Hamas invasion of Israel interrupts their dialogue, and we break away from the first film to pick up the threads in a second film shot in late 2025, After that we can rebuild everything. Sami Abu Salem and his family have survived two years of Israel’s siege, he has grown a beard, and he now shares how his own children are in revolt against his dreams.

After the screening you will be able to take part in a Q&A with the Producer, Mike Joseph.
This event is part of Attic Aid: a weekend of fundraising for Gaza.  
Proceeds will go to the charity War Child and Sami Abu Salem & family.

Tickets for Gaza A Story of Love and War are not available from Fair&Fabulous.
They can be bought online at the link above or, if the show is not sold out, will be available on the door on the night.

Portraits
Written by Melanie Davies
On stage April 29th to May 2nd

You don’t need to travel far to see great theatre, just come to Attic Theatre!

Conversations on a dark night – between those seen and unseen.

Attic theatre is presenting a new play by Melanie Davies.
This will be her sixth play for the theatre and we can’t wait to see what she has for us. Melanie says:

“ A feast for the eyes as well as the brain, here is a play to tickle the historic tastebuds.  We are in the company of some fascinating characters who don’t have long to linger, and when these past voices are let loose, vivid stories come tumbling out.

 

Tickets for Portraits will be available online, and also from Fair&Fabulous, a few weeks before the performance dates.
If the show is not sold out they will also be available on the door on the night.
