Author: Hassan Abdulrazzak

Hassan Abdulrazzak, of Iraqi origin, was born in Prague and lives in London. His first play, Baghdad Wedding (2007) was staged in London and broadcast on BBC Radio 3. The Prophet (2012) was based on extensive interviews in Cairo with revolutionaries, soldiers, journalists, and cab drivers. Dhow under the Sun (2015), with 35 young actors, was staged in Sharjah, UAE. That same year, Love, Bombs and Apples premiered at the Arcola Theatre as part of the Shubbak Festival. And Here I Am, the life story of a Palestinian fighter turned artist, was also part of the 2017 Shubbak Festival. Abdulrazzak interviewed ex-prisoners and experts in immigration and criminal law for The Special Relationship (2020). He recently finished on a musical about the arms industry. He holds a PhD in molecular biology and currently works at Imperial College London.
