Mona Mansour & Hadi Tabbal: The Vagrant Trilogy

In 1967, a young Palestinian scholar is invited to London to lecture on his mastery of a William Wordsworth poem. But after he arrives, war breaks out back home and he's forced to decide between staying in London or going back home to his family where uncertainty and suffering are guaranteed. These are events that begin The Vagrant Trilogy,  a show currently playing at The Public Theatre. The audience is taken down two different paths: one where Adham chooses to stay in London, and one that leads him to a refugee camp in Lebanon. The three-act play has been in the making for over a decade now. Unsettled spoke to actor Hadi Tabbal and playwright Mona Mansour about the making of The Vagrant Trilogy.
