Rah

RAH is one of the central works in Laila Latifa’s portfolio, originally developed as part of RAH: The Series. The play is a bold and unfiltered exploration of mixed identity, belonging, and personal storytelling, weaving together sharp humor, raw emotion, and moments of surrealism to unpack what it means to exist between cultures.

Drawing from Laila’s own experiences, RAH tackles the contradictions of identity—feeling both too much and not enough, constantly translating yourself for others, and the struggle of defining who you are beyond stereotypes. It also examines the pressures of representation, questioning who gets to tell their own story and how authenticity is shaped by external expectations.

The play received critical praise, with audiences connecting to its honesty and inventive approach to storytelling. It has been performed at multiple venues and longlisted for the RSC 37 Plays, further cementing its impact.

As part of its evolution, excerpts from RAH will be featured in Laila’s upcoming video series, offering new ways to experience the play’s themes through a visual and multimedia lens.
