From a wedding in Syria to a kitchen in Palestine, revolutionary Egypt and wartime Iraq, four writers take us on a gripping journey through the Arab world. You Don't Have to Be American to Get Laid But It Helps - Darsh is a philanderer, flying to Vienna on romantic business. Based on the short story 'Madam Vienna'. Advice to Iraqi Women - A satire exploring our collective distance from the realities facing Iraqi women. The Worst Cook In the West Bank - A Palestinian woman cooks for her family but is sick of the word 'revolution', and isn't afraid to say why. The Reception - A Syrian wedding, 2011. Protests bubble in the street, and at the reception everything is going wrong.
