The hour of feeling

Fuelled by a love of English Romantic poetry, a young Palestinian academic, Adham, and his new wife, Abir, take a trip to London, where he will deliver a career defining lecture. While the situation in his home 'country' deteriorates and his marriage threatens to dissolve, Adham confronts his fear of failure and the reality that he may be an outsider no matter where he goes. 'The Hour of Feeling' was first presented in the UK at the High Tide Festival in Halesworth, Suffolk, in May 2012.
