A projector displays today’s date, 17 January 2012, and the seven cast members take us on a journey (as the show title implies) through The History of Everything. We start from the present time and work back to The Big Bang.


It’s Radio Muezzin, a show that brings genuine Cairo prayer-callers to the world, to tell their stories live on stage. It is just as intriguing and quaint as it sounds.
