Hannah Khalil<\/strong> is an award-winning Palestinian-Irish playwright and dramatist. Hannah\u2019s work for the stage and radio engages closely with identity, displacement and the politics of national history.<\/p>\n

Her work for stage includes\u00a0A Museum in Baghdad<\/em>, which moves between the founding of a collection of Iraqi antiquities in 1926, and the aftermath of its looting in 2006, to examine the role of the archive as a national institution. It opened at the Royal Shakespeare Company\u2019s Swan Theatre in 2019.<\/p>\n

Hannah\u2019s other plays include Interference<\/em>\u00a0for The National Theatre of Scotland,\u00a0The Scar Test\u00a0<\/em>for\u00a0Soho Theatre and\u00a0Scenes from 68* Years<\/em>\u00a0for the Arcola.\u00a0Scenes from 68* Years\u00a0<\/em>was nominated for the James Tait Black award.\u00a0In 2017 Khalil was awarded The Arab British Centre's Prize for Culture. Along with her theatre work, she has written numerous radio plays, including\u00a0The Unwelcome, Last of the Pearl Fishers\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Deportation Room,<\/em>\u00a0all for BBC Radio 4.<\/p>\n

Hannah has always been deeply influenced by Beckett\u2019s drama, and her writing continues in the tradition of Beckett\u2019s most engaged plays, such as Catastrophe<\/em> or What Where<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the year-long Fellowship, Hannah will engage with the contents, history and spaces of the world-leading archive relating to Samuel Beckett\u2019s work which is held at the University\u2019s Special Collections. Supported by colleagues at the Samuel Beckett Research Centre, through this engagement with the archives she will produce new creative work, to be premiered at the end of her time with us. Hannah follow our Inaugural Fellow, Eimear McBride, and novelist Robert McCrum and composer Tim Parkinson, in accepting a Creative Fellowship at the Centre. We are very excited about the opportunity to work with Hannah.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
