10 Nights will make you laugh, for sure, but it’ll go deeper too. It’s a moving narrative about a man’s journey of self-discovery; “When Yasser decides to take part in itikaf, sleeping and fasting in the mosque for the last ten nights of Ramadan, he soon regrets his decision. But as he navigates smug worshippers, shared bathrooms, and recurring thoughts of chunky chips, Yasser’s isolation forces him to confront a side of himself he’s been trying to keep hidden“.
