Al Beyt is a realistic play about a brother and his two sisters in their thirties who have just lost their mother and who deal differently the family house’s fate, as well as the stories they share from the past. Nadia, the oldest sister, has remained faithful to her mother and duties, whereas Rim, the younger sister, is struggling between freedom and family ties. Their brother is witnessing what he dislikes more: conflict, and, as the play unfolds, the truth that inevitably arises.
