NEWS OF THE STRANGE!
Tales from the Arab world
Told by Daniel Morden
A blacksmith batters himself with his hammer.
A fisherman throws back the fishes he catches.
A blind man begs passers by to strike him.
A prince in a never-ending sleep.
Shot through with powerful, mysterious images, NEWS OF THE STRANGE is an evening of stories from the Arab world, some moving, some shocking, some hilarious.
