Ghailan Breaks Tradition
Awwal Theatre presented *The Voice of the Millstone* at the fifth Bahrain Theatre Festival, using the millstone as a metaphor for the suffering of three sisters trapped in a cycle of patriarchal oppression. The production reveals that the father’s cruelty stems from the wounds of his childhood and his family’s debts, yet he perpetuates injustice by marrying his nine-year-old daughter to a wealthy elderly man. The play raises questions about how oppression is passed down through generations, about obedience and marriage when they become forms of confinement and transaction, and about fatherhood when it becomes a source of fear.
