W/out conflating cultures (the point is imperialistic perspectives) recent production A Museum in Baghdad features Arabic language througout. Q&A w/ cast at SBT asked was this to exclude audience at RSC? Cast said no... I hoped was yes because WE DON’T UNDERSTAND EVERY/ANYTHING https://twitter.com/MidEastInEurope/status/1221053079979724801 …

Cast were very defensive, sadly. I wish they’d said yes so much - surely that was at least *part* of the point?!
@hannykha would you mind giving your perspective on this? -
A chorus is a form of alienation by its very nature but I’d describe the Arabic in the play as celebratory I’d never seek to exclude an audience though I understand your point. Also just FYI all the Arabic in the play is also spoken in English so no one ever ‘Misses’ anything.

we don’t understand and we don’t need to. But everything was made for us. We need to unlearn that settler colonialist mode of thinking.
