Ali and Dahlia

“My father used to say, nearly everything in the world is made in China; except courage, this is made in Palestine.”

Having been accused of rioting, Ali awaits his fate in an Israeli interrogation room. But when an old lover steps in to defend him, the two are forced to confront their past; finding themselves torn between bitter loyalties.

A Palestinian-Israeli love story set against the backdrop of the construction of the West Bank wall. Ali and Dahlia is 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.

This is a debut play by Tariq Jordan and directed by multiple award-winner Kerry Kyriacos Michael MBE.
