Her curiosity in text-based theatre was compelled upon her in true British custom, when she was requested to put in writing a reimagining of Indiana Jones to take to the Edinburgh Fringe. Luckily, it seems she fairly likes writing. Ahlam is a dreamer. Ahlam desires of revolution. Ahlam desires of the emancipatory energy of day-dreaming. Ahlam desires of huge ensemble theatre with big units. Ahlam desires of pistachio-crusted salmon she ate as soon as in Sicily. Ahlam desires of affection.
