Returning after a Fringe First award-winning, sold-out run, as a Rolling Stone Top 10 Show. This is a universal story of resilience and imagination, written and performed by comedian and actor Alaa Shehada. Blending storytelling, mask and stand-up, the show follows a boy growing up in Jenin, Occupied Palestine, who just wants to play. After a 2002 invasion, local children and a German artist built a five-metre horse from debris – a symbol of freedom and resistance. Destroyed in 2023, Shehada rebuilds the Horse on stage from fragments of memory, loss and hope. ***** (Guardian).
