Cast Mark Thomas, Faisal Abualheja, Alaa Shehada<br />
Dodging cultural and literal bullets, Israeli incursions<br />
and religion, Mark Thomas and his team set out to run a<br />
comedy club for two nights in the Palestinian city of Jenin.<br />
Only to find it’s not so simple to celebrate freedom of<br />
speech in a place with so little freedom.<br />
Jenin refugee camp, home to Jenin Freedom <strong>Theatre</strong> and to<br />
people with a wealth of stories to tell. Mark tells this story<br />
alongside two of its actors and aspiring comics, Faisal<br />
Abualheja and Alaa Shehada. A story about being yourself<br />
in a place that wants to put you in a box.<br />
