On August 3rd 2006 in Beirut a group of displaced children premiered their play, 'Laughter Under the Bombs'. Bombs fell as they performed and the play received an amazing reception. 'The show opened and the laughs drowned out the bombs. Occasionally the doors would rattle from the air pressure from the explosions, but it was rare. Thankfully the play was loud and the laughter even louder… and honestly I think we laughed even harder then we should have actors and audience because we didn't want to hear anything else.' - Sharif Abdunnur. We have decided to restage the play here in London to raise funds and communicate our support to the children and families who are now trying to rebuild their lives. This is a humanitarian project, it is not to take sides or make a judgement.
