In Arabia We'd All Be Kings

8 - 10 Oct 2025

In Arabia We'd All Be Kings

"This used to be a nice place." Taking place in and around a seedy bar, In Arabia We'd All Be Kings centres on a group of down-and-out characters - ex-cons, addicts, and dreamers - clinging to hope while their world crumbles around them. Lenny, newly released from prison, longs for a fresh start and to reclaim a lost love, but like the others, he struggles against forces beyond his control. As the bar - their last refuge - is threatened by redevelopment, each character is forced to confront their past and fading dreams.
