STORM in the NORTH

​Let’s make bread - the Syrian way. We’ll mix the dry ingredients, in a bowl bought in a Souk from Idlib,

then we add water… then wait for it to rise.

 

And when the bread is ready, and the room is filled with the smell of freshly-baked bread,

we will share it with our friends and neighbours – and enjoy it with Syrian Meze.

 

When he was in Turkey, writer Kevin Dyer was told by a Syrian refugee,

‘Do not forget Syria’. This is our attempt, with baking, and a thrilling piece of drama,

to keep the proud people of that country in our minds –

with food and a story of hope.

​

Idlib has toured intimate community spaces (Village halls, studio theatres, and urban meeting houses) across the UK.

It is still burningly relevant – telling stories of home and friendship and kindness – so will tour again in 2026.
