Sabrina Mahfouz’s new theatrical dive into the concept of supreme authority, framed by the story of Shajah al-Durr, a sex slave who became the last woman to rule Egypt (no, it really wasn’t Cleopatra!). Shajah rose from the palace harem to the throne of medieval Egypt, winning victories against the Crusaders, before being killed by a group of women she knew well. There’s a lesson in there somewhere, but for who? This is a chance to see a brand-new piece of work from a Fringe legend as a part of Shedinburgh.
