Shahid Nadeem, playwright; collaboration with Fawzia Afzal-Khan, NYUAD
Internationally renowned Pakistani playwright and director of Ajoka—Pakistan’s premier theatre company— Mr Shahid Nadeem, will be a writer in residence this week here. He and Professor Afzanl-Khan are collaborating on a script called “Lawrence in Lahore: the Lost Years,” based on stories of T. E. Lawrence’s rumoured exploits in South Asia in the late 1920s and 30s.
They will be presenting our work in progress, including a dramatic reading of the (draft) scenes written so far (utilizing student actors).
