Under the Shade of a Tree I Sat and Wept reflects on the Truth and Reconcilliation Commision and the blood feud reconciliation process in Kosovo.

Critics hailed the show as“deeply complex” (Theatre Times) and “heartfelt” (SEEstage). Acclaimed playwright Mark Ravenhill described it as “moving and thought provoking.”

Written and directed by two of Kosovo’s leading theatremakers, Jeton Neziraj and Blerta Neziraj, working in tandem with Greg Homann, artistic director of the Market Theatre, the show features a cast of Kosovar, Albanian, North Macedonian and South African actors.
