The Details of Silence is a new play by Nathalie Handal. This sensual, political and daring new play explores the internal and external landscapes of Arab women. Set in present-day New York, Details gives voice to eleven Arab women of different ages and religions coming from different parts of the world. Azza interviews each woman for a story she is writing. As she unveils the details of their lives, sexuality, and silences, she also unveils the details of her own personal tragedy.
