Reviews of Come Back Home at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and coverage of Fadi’s work since.
Reviews
“Playful, eerie and surprising, Come Back Home is a séance for the memories – both personal and collective – that feel the most impossible to hold.”
“Come Back Home is structured with the free-ranging imagination of a poet, an impressionistic collage that resists straightforward interpretation.”
“Come Back Home is a must-see at this year’s fringe for me, for the importance it carries in the world today and for its brilliant writing, staging and performance.”
“Dream-like meditation”
“…a touching and quietly powerful work, and Murad is adept at drawing you in, posing questions, offering tantalising morsels.”
“…Come Back Home is an intimate and affecting exploration of grief, memory, identity and home.”
“This is an important and thoughtful piece of work, with a fascinating perspective and a performer who clearly has much to say.”
“It’s very clever but also shocking”
