Watching Afaf on stage is like taking a masterclass in acting. She possesses a natural ability, is devoted to her craft and connects incredibly well to create meaningful, honest and thoroughly realistic characters and scenes. Highly collaborative, responsive and committed. A standout actress whom I wouldn't hesitate to cast again.

Having to switch very abruptly from crying to laughter to anger and back again… Afaf does it very, very well.

I’m a big fan of Afaf’s. I came to see [her theatre production] "Sharon and My Mother-in-Law" and was in awe of the superb acting and the way the story was produced for stage. It was very powerful in humanizing the conflict and funny enough it reminded me of my own book.

Afaf’s performance was stunning—way above anything I have seen in Beirut so far (and I do see a lot of plays). Bravo!
