Relive some of the highlights of Liverpool Arab Arts Festival 2026 ✨️

Inspired by a true story, 40 Days and 40 Nights is a cross-continental comedy of double decker proportions, where a family departs and comes together. The show has been developed as a co-creation between Liverpool's Royal Court and Liverpool Arab Arts Festival. This script in hand reading was a first look at this brand new comedy.
