Bone by Bone

by Sharifa Yazmeen

Visions of another couple who lived within an abandoned attic’s walls intertwine with Chris and Muna’s secrets, until Fayrouz and Yasir find old life reflected in the attic’s new inhabitants. Histories collide, spirits take hold, and the attic forms its own space in time somewhere between what was and what is in this examination of sex, shame, and the cost of being okay.

    This play is a gift to trans Arab women. Loved how time and space is played with here and how everything bleeds into each other by the end. What an ending. Would love to see this play produced. This is one that needs to be produced all over. At a time where trans lives are in danger, this is a play that needs to be seen. Wonderfully written characters that people will be talking about long after this play ends.

    Bone by Bone is innovative and evocative. Yasmin's craft shines through in stage directions that break the mold of theatre conventions by deftly guiding through the characters' inner life. This play boldly captures the complex, violent, and intimate sexual relationships of arab transgender women in a world that secrets away their love.
