"Deeply unsettling, ridiculously exciting and right on the cutting edge of the Fringe." The Times
Voted by The Times as one of the 10 unmissable shows at Edinburgh Fringe Festival
A secret encounter and a highly suspicious one-on-one performance by Tania El Khoury in which the performer and the audience member are partners in crime. It is inspired by crime films, the Metropolitan Police’s terrorism awareness and operations made in the past by ‘attractive’ women militants in the Lebanese resistance.

"One-on-one theatre is growing in popularity all the time and this is the real deal. It stays with you for a long time afterwards." Ben Hoyle, The Times.
"Intimately challenging... Jarideh places you at the heart of a social issue, providing an emotional vocabulary to understand the different elements that comprise an Arab identity." Exeunt Magazine
"I felt the people began to view me differently, I was behaving like a potential terrorist." Theater Aan Zee
و" في «جريدة» تدفع الخوري باللعب على المتناقضات نحو حدود جديدة، لا تكتفي بتفكيك الصورة النمطية عن الآخر بل تدفع المتفرج إلى سجالٍ ذي صلة، عن المقاومة والإرهاب، وعن الحق المشروع والعنف." محمد العطار، الحياة
