Yet, Lebanese women are denied nationality rights, killed at the hands of husbands who get away with it, and discriminated against by a conservative society and 15 religious courts who control their marriage, divorce, custody, and inheritance rights until this day.

To shed light on this gender-based discrimination in the absence of legal protection, theatre professionals Marwa Khalil<\/a> and Wafa\u2019a Halawi<\/a> wrote the play Mafrouke<\/a>, a sequel tof the 2014 Arabic musical comedy Znoud El Sett<\/i>.

The story follows Amal, a Lebanese mother and housewife whose failed marriage had left her worn out, torn down, and abused \u2013 hence the title of the play which is a play on words relating to a popular Lebanese dessert. Amal shares the reasons behind her decision to get a divorce with her fictive neighbor, her point of view on love and life, and everything that makes her feel like a \u201clesser\u201d citizen.

The Arabic-language play stars actress Serena Chami<\/a> alongside the female scriptwriters and is directed by renowned drama instructor Riad Chirazi whose \u201cOnce upon Time in Thebes\u201d trilogy won first prize at the Casablanca Theatre Festival in 1997.
