About this work

According to Aleks Sierz in The Arts Desk, after Nawal Marwan's death her twins Simon and Janine learn at the reading of her will that they must find the father they believed dead and a brother they never knew existed. According to Howard Loxton in the British Theatre Guide, their mother had been silent for five years before her death; Janine, a mathematician, sets off for the Middle East while Simon, a boxer, at first refuses. The play shows Nawal's life alongside: love at fifteen, a child taken from her, and her search for that child through a civil war. The secret of her silence comes out at the end, with no happy resolution.

به نوشتهٔ الکس سیرز در آرتس دسک، پس از مرگ نوال مروان، دوقلوهایش سیمون و ژانین در مراسم خواندن وصیت‌نامه درمی‌یابند که باید پدری را که مرده می‌پنداشتند و برادری را که از وجودش بی‌خبر بودند پیدا کنند. به نوشتهٔ هاوارد لاکستون در بریتیش تیتر گاید، مادر پیش از مرگ پنج سال سکوت کرده بود؛ ژانین ریاضی‌دان به خاورمیانه می‌رود و سیمون بوکسور ابتدا سر باز می‌زند. نمایش هم‌زمان زندگی نوال را نشان می‌دهد: عشق در پانزده‌سالگی، کودکی که از او گرفته می‌شود و جست‌وجوی آن کودک در میانهٔ جنگ داخلی. راز سکوت او در پایان آشکار می‌شود و پایانی آسوده در کار نیست.
