By Sabrina Mahfouz
Save the Queen? is Sabrina Mahfouz’s new theatrical deep dive into the concept of supreme authority, framed by the extraordinary story of Shajah al-Durr, a sex slave who became the last woman to rule Egypt (no, it really wasn’t Cleopatra!).
Shajah rose from the palace harem to the throne of medieval Egypt, winning victories against the Crusaders, before being killed by a group of women she knew well. There’s a lesson in there somewhere, but for who?
This is a chance to see a brand new piece of work from a Fringe legend as a part of Shedinburgh. Please note this will be a work-in-progress performance.
