Leyla's House

Adapted to the stage from Zulfu Livaneli's best seller novel "Leyla's House" is about the final living member of an old Ottoman family, who is forced to leave her house in which she lived the seventy-six years of her life.

Leyla's house is a small building situated at one corner of the garden of Bosnali Yalisi, an old Istanbul mansion that once belonged to her own family. 

Roxy is a third generation migrant who grew up in Germany and became a hip-hop singer. During her youth, she was torn between two cultures and she had serious problems of belonging and identity. She had survived but only at the expense of turning out to be a difficult, hard person.

Indeed, it isn’t only Roxy who is changing, Leyla is changing too. As the two women get to know each other, they discover new sides to themselves and they grow up.

The new owners of the Bosnali Yalisi are Omer Cevheroglu and his wife Necla who are among the new rich of Istanbul.
