Yara El-Sherbini uses the format of the pub quiz to playfully explore ideas around art and life. Can you name one movie in which an Arab is not shown as a bomber, a billionaire or a belly dancer? Is the wife of a Sultan called a Sultana? Fun, entertaining and accessible - join in, answer the questions and have a laugh. Just remember that the Quizmaster is always right...
